I think it's good that we don't all need the same motivations. I mostly play for fun, but my cards are worth a bit. Maybe not as much as a while back though. Those in charge have big responsibilities to not mess it up. We can grill them at HF :)

I asked in Discord/Mavs if Splinterlands were attending HF7 and got blanked. They have Splinterfest in October and that is going to be priority, but I will be very disappointed if they veto HF.
I'm disappointed that Hive and blogging are barely mentioned on their site. A lot more players could be earning from that and most will be into more than just the game. Are they ashamed to be associated with Hive?
Well, the Splinterlands community is significantly bigger than the blogging part of HIVE but not even both founders are top 20 witnesses - that tells it all: in HIVE still the old oligarchy club of early miners and former bidbot owners is reigning, and some Splinterlands whales (including myself) don't like that centralization of power.
In Splinterlands are far more different single investors with many different opinions, so in that sense Splinterlands is more decentralized than HIVE.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to grill me at HiveFest, but nevertheless, I wish you much fun there. :)
Obviously Hive has various issues, but all those Splinterlands players have an account and could participate in other dapps. There's no cost to doing that and they could be socialising via blogs as well as earning. I play a couple of Hive games and that adds to my earnings. It's all fun to me and I want to see others get similar benefits. I just wonder how many don't even realise what else they could be doing with their accounts.
Sure, they could, and I don't say it would be wrong if they did.
I play for example Rabona, too (just for fun).
But for some players (including myself) Splinterlands is not only a game but currently actually kind of a rather time consuming as well as profitable 'job'. Then there are also family, friends, non-internet related activities ... and some unfortunate individuals in addition are forced to do any real world jobs to earn some extra fiat money.
Maybe one of the reasons that not everybody explores all the different possible HIVE options lays in the length of a day of only 24 h ...? :)
Yes, time is always a factor, but I think Hive has been hampered by a lack of platform branding to make people aware of other dapps. Does the SPL site even link to posts with news about the game? I just see it as a missed opportunity, but there may be issues behind the scenes that I am unaware of.
