I am currently hearing from more and more people that they are parting with their maps and Splinterlands assets.
On the one hand, I can understand that very well. The current prospects are not rosy, there is no more innovation and the team feels like it is working past the players.
At the latest since the big price drop at the beginning of the year, Splinterlands is no longer an investment. Very few players who are still playing have been able to increase in value.
Virtually every collection is losing more and more value.
But is that really dramatic?
In my opinion, it depends on how you look at it.
Anyone who sees Splinterlands as an investment will have been bitterly disappointed. Unfulfilled expectations are definitely a reason to pass on a game.
And realistically speaking, a simple investment in HBD in the Savings would be a better investment at the current 15% per year.
The question is, is Splinterlands an investment?
The situation is different if you look at Splinterlands as a game.
I've been playing it for almost 3 years now and I have to say, of course you can earn money with Splinterlands, but the priority should be fun.
When I buy other games, I don't expect to make a profit.
That's why I'm so happy about the gaming experience. That's exactly how it should be in my opinion.
The best example is the SERPENTINE SPY map from the UNTAMED series.
I pulled this card out of a pack relatively early on. So did a friend who stopped in the middle of the pack.
At its peak, I could have sold this card for 15 USD or more. But I still hold it.
It reminds me of the beautiful Untamed time. It was a lot of fun and I wish I could enjoy this GF card in real life. I really like this map.
And that's exactly why you should look at Splinterlands with different eyes.
Not everything has to be designed for profit. Sometimes the focus has to be on fun and memories.
Then many things can turn out well!

I wholeheartedly agree. I lost a lot of money in this game, from an investment standpoint - but it never was an investment. When I bought Magic The Gathering cards back in the days, I bought them to play. I didn't even have the chance to buy single cards, it was always packs and hoping for good luck. And I was in high school, so many was an issue.
Today, seeing my deck grow and become stronger every month thanks to being able to spend some 25-50$ each month on FUN is a wonderful feeling. Analyzing the cards to see where I get the biggest bang for my buck, learning strategies and tactics, connecting with other players - that's what I pay for. Not to become a millionaire, that's what other investments are for :-D This is using a tiny bit of my freetime and money to dive into a different world. I don't regret a dime I spent.
I really like your attitude!
I bought Pokemon cards back in the day and played them as a matter of course. There was never any ulterior motive to earn money with them. I just wanted to have fun.
Unfortunately, I can't just switch to this mode in Splinterlands. It's absurd, but I still try to enjoy the game first and foremost.
To open a pack every now and then and have fun with my Guild members.
And of course you shouldn't forget that Splinterlands generates contacts and other things.
Monetarily speaking, it may be a loss, but it brings a lot of experience and skills.
And that makes it a gain!
