Enjoyed reading your article!
A few clarifications here :)
the game would only launch if a certain number of packages were sold
The game will launch even if 0 packs are sold!
apparently they want to copy what @splinterlands did with the sale of their lands
Our Crate sale started before Splinterlands run their land sale. No offense, the concept is great and everybody should use it. But we are not "copying" anything here.
I have been investigating the Synergyofserra user in Hive and I have not found any article that is aware of the news of the game and its developments; his last article is pure literature.
Sorry for the confusion, at the bottom is a "TLDR: About Alpha Fame" part which explains the new feature (described within the story).
It's true, the hive account is not very active and we are working on providing more information more frequently. Our community hotspot definitely is Discord and we invite everybody to chat with us in person. :)
