"Play to Earn" is an over-hyped term that makes people expect to get value for free, just by investing their time. Few games are actually offering this. Those which do often end up in economic troubles because their game assets are quickly devalued as more and more players (and bots!) are dumping their rewards for their share of "Play to Earn".
Splinterlands itself is not even using this term anymore. "Pay to Earn" would be more appropriate but sounds boring and lame and also kind of misses the bigger picture.
Maybe something like "Play to Own" would be better, as it highlights the benefits over the legacy gaming industry where you don't own your games, items and achievements. Whether you are earning with this or not is secondary and different from game to game.
Personally, I see myself as a collector first (own). Splinterlands assets are very rare and cards are even hyper-deflational. I don't even play the actual game myself for two years and yet I am spending hours each day in front of it, managing it (work) and having fun (play) while doing so. I am playing a different game within the same game. And I know that my value is being protected by the blockchain as well as by the developers, who know better than most in this industry how their implemented economics will over time elevate this entire Splinterverse. I did this long before there was any significant value in playing or renting (although admittedly I did expect that value will come over time).

Thanks for stopping by man!
Yeah I love that angle...Play to own is a much better way to frame the Splinterlands experience. And like you said, it's always been their mission to put ownership of the assets into people's hands!

Very impressive, I should have done the same. Instead I sat on all my stuff the entire time.
I believe that was a good choice with SPS. No idea about SPT but as a fellow whale and Splinterlands-believer I salute you. With 20 million SPT you will not just have some influence, you will be 4x larger than the largest stakeholder. The only force larger than you would be Splinterlands holdings and the combined delegated power on @monster-curator, which I am managing.
May I ask what your intentions for SPT are?
I have literally no idea what any of that means.
Maybe you are confusing me with somebody else. But none of that sounds like something I want my name to be associated with, even if I would have the capital - which I don't.
