thank you @remlaps for your feedback

There is a lot to be considered when such a game is to be launched, wish I had the facet of it. But I hope that the idea of ​​such a game can be realized and that developers can get on board with steemit.inc.

The way it is today, I also think we need to bring in fun things such as games that can attract more users and investors.

"The Spectacular Collapse of CryptoKitties" thanks for the link, it was very interesting to read.

How to prioritize entertainment before rewards (same challenge we're facing with content creation)

It's not easy, maybe a separate pool of steem-on tokens that can be exchanged for steem, for example 1000 steem-on tokens are worth 1 steem. There could be a pre-sale of avatars (possibly NFTs) to the players that have to be bought for steem and that it is possible to buy up to dolphin level in the game, hope more people will come up with ideas for this

Development funding
The right mix of ideas & skills (including programming, hosting/infrastructure, art work, and whatever else)
How to leverage it to drive investment

Good question
If we are going to make this happen, I think we need steemit.inc to join in or give support to the project.
If it is to be profitable for investors, it must cost something to play the game that can give investors returns and programming, hosting/infrastructure, art work, and whatever else can be paid
