- On Splinterlands, there's the SPS token that gives governance powers. Players of the game and SPS token holders will use consensus voting mechanics in the future.
SPS is kind of like shares but it puts you on the board to make decisions. With the introduction of SPS, fans/players/investors (basically us) can make proposals that will be voted on.
When you think about it, blockchain gaming is EXACTLY what gamers have been craving for. When you go to forums and shit, you see COD players complaining about one thing or the other. The latest is the riot shield that we just wear at the back for protection. Many players hate it.
If COD was on a blockchain, someone will create a proposal and vote based on their stake to determine the next step.
There's still a very looooooooong road ahead for blockchain gaming but if it eventually proffers solutions for the problems that traditional gaming platforms face, evolution will be the logical action.
Oh, thanks! Splinterlands has at least 3 different "currencies" and it gets very confusing for a beginner to understand what is what.
Ahhh, so you're proposing a stake-based voting economy?
In theory this would be excellent - however, keep in mind that without a clear roadmap and sensible limits (players understandably "want it all" but devs can't deliver the "everything" game) it could turn into mayhem.
What could work is similar to an NGO that I support financially here (they're essentially lobbyists for the 99%).
Every few months, they decide on a range of topics (e.g. poverty vs environment vs worker's rights vs corruption), but with specific goals in mind and all members vote (albeit there you get 1 vote no matter your financial contribution). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobby_99
Depending on how they set up their voting system, they will either only fight for the top voted issue (say early on when they only had the manpower to deal with one issue at a time), divide their work up over the top 3 issues according to the % of votes given to each, etc etc
