Because having too many chains, side chains then different wallets.
Its all going out of the ease or the control in an account. I mean why not use H-E when the game is already on hive anyway. And besides if you build a good game, and I can say this game has depth so you will always find players. But if you get them to create here and then create there just to play the game then it just gets to a stage where they will just to find something else to do.
Like play football manager on pc or console. There is a fine line between an enjoyable experience and the pull of making crypto since there are boundless amounts of games being released all the time. You get what I mean?
Updates are great but that is not what we are discussing here. Lets stick to the topic and not add things just to distract the issue.
Let me comment on why we did not implement a HIVE Engine token: The way all games on Hive are implemented today you need to rely on a central game server as Hive does not have a smart contract functionality. So even if we would implement a Hive engine token this would not change the risk that we shut down these servers - which we definitely not plan to do.
When Rabona was born, Hive Engine was basically a centralised service with no real level of decentralisation. This is the reason why we at that point in time decided not to do a token there as it would have meant that you add another layer of centralised services.
I agree that HE today is different from a year ago and we might at some point reconsider this decision. But this was the rationale why we did it this way.
Only time will tell what you guys will do.
I am playing Rabona till it goes away or stays, based on past experience.
Yeah - just wait and then judge - I know other games on the chain which are in my view total boring shit and I personally do not care whether they have HIVe engine token or not. Let me be honest, seeing Splinterlands being the massive game these days I would not be surprised they would leave either for another chain or create their own (especially when I see that Aggy is no Top 20 Witness anymore - I would be aggressive in his case but also sure he is not suffering that much in gneral).
Would be sad as I am on this ecosystem since over 5 years but who knows. So many people talk about Wax or ETH to be the gaming chains. I usually judge by the guys I know and I trust which is difficult of course in our case for you :-).
