RE: Private Chaos Sales Incoming!? Will This Ruin The General Sale?

I said it in your YouTube section, but I want to reiterate it here.

"This won't be the death of the game, Bulldog. But the latest decisions including this one will retrospectively be the "applied poison" and slowly but surely taking 2 health points away, meaning, new players won't stay and it will return to a narrow active player base. This can't be good in the longterm and these are shortsighted, greed-driven decisions in a macro-bubble, which ruin projects. I've seen this many, many times and it seems, this is the path, splinterlands devs intend to walk down.

A couple of friends of mine made accounts after I shilled it to them. They loved it initially. No one stuck to it. 1k $ to be competitive in Bronze I or Silver III? lol. Average Joe out."

I know, I know, if we quit now, devs will laugh in our faces a year from now. Heard it a couple of times in the discord's AMA.
This kind of behaviour is juvenile and aggressive as well as demeaning and unnecessary. This attitude will get a few laughs from veteran players who have made their piles and egg this behaviour on, but it will repel many new players and up-and-coming players, who want to invest, but are let down again and again.

I'm more and more inclined to sell my investment in this game and look for another opportunity.
It's a pity, because the gameplay and the system behind is absolutely great and addictive.
