Sherlock, thank you so much for this comment and for looking further into this and offering us further insight that I missed to find out about myself.

They must have been trying to collect followers. It's a tactic I've seen quite a few Steemians use to gather a decent amount of followers in no time.

What I find alarming about most blockchain games is how quick they are to push that there a way to earn money and then trying sell a product.

I think it's partially because none of them have yet created a graphically appealing game so they have to stick earning by playing into our faces so that users are more easily incentivitzed to spend their time playing their games.
