RE: Splinterlands lost another exciting Human Player

And for the current Splinterlands scene, from one gamer to another, all I'll say is that a break is sometimes necessary.

I've never played any P2E or WEB3 games, I grew up playing the "Pay to Enjoy" or "Pirate to Enjoy" type of games lol, but all of that has now turned into a big Pay to Win sector. Yet, no matter the type, the lifeblood is still the same in the overall gaming sector I'd say.

Whether I pay or don't pay, play competitively or casually, I've made a name for myself in many different games and communities; I've won tournaments, lost a lot more, took A LOT of breaks, and then came back stronger. At the end of the day, tournament or not, money or no money, I was in it for the fun and for my "gamer buddies", because I'm still just a filthy casual. So, the money was just a bonus at the end of every tournament or a game's lifespan.

You have to give it to these professional players who have invested so much time and effort, knowing that the future is uncertain. Yet, they'll still do it, just for the love of the game. This whole competitive gaming industry does have potential, but it isn't that "big" yet, definitely not big enough to support so many talented players from all around the world.

I understand that the scenario is quite different for the WEB3 sector and its players, but everyone in this realm is now struggling. So, as the WEB3 sector grows, hopefully a day will come when the players won't have to look for alternatives. A day when a professional can fully rely on the game and give it their all. Till then, a little break won't hurt I guess.

All the best to you @schnapoon. Hopefully one day you'll be able to come back to Spliterlands, way stronger and better prepared.

From one gamer to another. GGs 💣🔥
