I get where you are coming from. In the past, they've always answered the question with "No more land will be minted. If we do mint more land, it won't be in Splinterlands but in a different game."
However, in the past three townhalls, including this one, they have mentioned that they can mint more land for Splinterlands if deemed necessary, but again, it wouldn't be anywhere close to the same as the existing land. But they have been making it very clear that this is very unlikely to ever happen.
That is why I have no concerns with their answers lately as I am a pretty big whale land owner and I have very little doubt that they would mint more land.
The above is the part that matters. Land was sold as "no more will be available". I understand the narrative has changed after the fact. If the whale land holders have no issue with that narrative changing after making their purchases than great. I certainly don't mind a second chance at getting some land (regardless of grade). I still needed to point out the unintentional false information.
