Its becouse you left :)
On a more serious note, splinterlands is probably the no.1 reason, they burned 2M HIVE recently for accoutns creation, and locked that much for players to transact on chain .... improved chain and scalability, improved HBD, hive engine providing second layer smart contracts, more tokens and projects.... and ofc upcoming 3speak token airdrop ...other things as well ...
That was a long time ago though AAAHHHHH XD
As for the rest of your comment... So basically they are actually getting the gaming side of things to going. HEH
