Sorry man. I don't buy it. it really just looks like you are trying to tap the DAO to cover the risk of low sales to me. smart move on your part and you sold it well. that last paragraph just hit me wrong though. basically a threat that people won't get anything if they don't do what you are suggesting. If Rebellion doesn't draw new players or new money, the DAO will probably lose a lot of value. clearly this is passing so my one suggestion is to sell way more packs at a much lower price so the $0.20 worth of cards in the packs is less of a loss per pack for the average player. You'll get the same amount of money either way but everyone will be willing to buy a lot more packs and play the game the way it's meant to be played.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yes, the proposal is for the DAO to take on some of the risk of low sales in return for a share in the rewards. If the SPS token holders don't want to do that, that's fine, and in that case the Splinterlands company will take on the full risk of low sales and also gain the full rewards if pack sales are good.
When initially discussing the idea, a number of people asked what would happen if the proposal didn't pass, which is why the last paragraph was added to let everyone know that if the DAO is not interested in this arrangement then we would just sell the packs the way that we have done in the past. Very strange to me that you would see that as a threat.
Overall the tone of your comment seems to imply that you think that we are doing something nefarious here and are trying to trick or threaten the player base in some way. We're proposing to try this pack sale a new way which I truly believe will massively benefit the DAO, and the token holders can vote on whether or not they agree.
As for your $0.20 worth of cards number, that's just plainly incorrect. You can see the average pack values here: https://www.splintercards.com/tool-packvalue.html Currently, the average value of a Riftwatchers pack (which I expect will be most similar to Rebellion) is around $3.00, which is - not surprisingly - roughly the same as the average cost of a Riftwatchers pack.
