RE: BREAKING NEWS: Magic-Dice Bamboozles Steemians! Gaming on the Steem Blockchain is officially a hot mess!

While I agree 100% with you, if you don't like changes after people spent money, Drug Wars is 100x worse. They even went so far to stop giving people who spent money any rewards if they are tired of playing as they now shut off rewards and put accounts into "vacation" mode if you don't keep playing. The game is structured as a ponzi.

What really concerns me about Magic Dice the most is their "investor" is almost 300,000 Steem in the hole playing the game and makes my massive Magic token holdings look like a few coins found in my couch. I have a hard time believing he isn't receiving any of these loses back behind the scenes.

That sucks. I didn't realize that they shut off rewards and started putting people in vacation mode. I was hoping to be able to find someone who doesn't play anymore and use them as a faucet. Probably not going to happen now.

I suspect their resources still grow, they just can't make any rewards.

Yeah. Kind of curious about that because if their resources are still growing it makes me wonder what happens to their percentage of the drug share. If the rewards aren't getting paid out and their percentage stays the same then the rewards must be going somewhere. If their percentage drops to zero then it would put extra drugs in the game also screwing up the math. To keep their math working correctly they could dump the rewards from vacation mode into the heist but I really doubt that's what's going on. I imagine the Developers are just pocketing it.

I think they are just ignoring it all together once in vacation mode so it goes to both indirectly. No one who signed-up, signed-up under the impression they would stop getting rewards when they give up playing.
