RE: Revamp Market Fees to Include 2% DAO Royalty
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Thank you for taking the time to contribute to discussion, though it would be appreciated if you could post it under the original proposal next time.
Firstly, I do sympathize with the third-party marketplaces that may take a hit from this proposal. It is not my intention to "kill multiple 3rd party applications", but rather improve the Splinterlands economy and shift market development incentives. In fact, I do not believe your claim actually has any basis or merit but rather an exaggerated rhetoric designed to scare people into making a misinformed decision. Would any user-friendly and competitive market frontend really shut down as a result of this? I honestly don't think so... but if anyone does it's simply a sign that they may not have the time or tools to develop anything competitive anyway.
Furthermore, I believe it is extremely important for there to be a fee for both the listing and buying marketplace. Otherwise, there is no financial incentive to create and improve on a user-friendly listing frontend.
Lastly, a royalty to the DAO is long overdue. Nearly every major NFT project on Ethereum has a "creator fee" for their team, which is charged on top of the third party market fee. This is an absolute must for the sustainable development of any NFT/GameFi project. I am also flexible with the DAO portion getting burned instead, or shared with the Splinterlands company for further development.
Personally, I believe DECs funding the DAO is important because it gives the community the flexibility to vote to burn, to use or simply give to the company (if needed). However, that is most likely many years away and in the short term, these DECs held by the DAO is effectively out of circulation as they cannot be sold, as I doubt the community would ever vote for it to be sold or used for anything against the best interests of the ecosystem.
First of all. I have left a note on the original proposal post. You can check the top comment by Dave and you will see it.
Second, I like to write it in my own blog so that I and only I control the narrative. As this is my personal view which I am 100% entitled to.
Third, I have no interest in what you think about misdirection. I have no vested interest in your proposal. I do have a vested interest in the game. I will let people do what they care, but surely I will influence them.
Cheers
