Axie is a fraud!
It is engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct by pretending to be a blockchain game when in fact it has none of the attributes that make something a true blockchain game.
In particular if players don't own assets and can be banned by a centralised authority then it is just another centralised game masquerading as a decentralised one.
It definitely doesn't seem like they care about the ownership model at all. Just another BS project cashing in.
Let's hope, Chifibots takes Axies place in the near future :O)
