The investment is in the investing into the game, not playing the game in my opinion. Gaming is a lucrative industry, because it is a consumable, attention driven item. Those who are playing (I don't) these games are looking for a way to add to their stake, they aren't investing in my opinion though other than time and opportunity to do something useful :D
I think playing a game like that as a way to make value might take the fun out for some, add some fun for others. For me, all of Steem is a game and one that can hold up as an investment as well as offer enjoyment in learning and playing with the mechanics.
But you can also invest time and money into games by playing (indirectly too via training courses) to get better and potentially give yourself a better chance of return.
just play your games and ,shut up :D
I think that the creators have played the game well for earnings :)
The games play themselves so I have time to do other things, like think about writing a post and then find something else to do. Perhaps a few comments on the posts of these creators you speak of are in order :P
What kind of game plays itself?? That isn't playing?
Worst date ever :D
Some of the investment type ones.
I can be, you just have to play me right :P
I am investing into the game drugwars too! mostly a bit of time to check in each day and see if I have enough of anything to upgrade and as I am a tight ass I spent just a little steem on the first or second day. Why do I invest my time, well I was one of the few to know and play this before launch on a test net and I just want to continue showing my support for the team and for a bit of fun and competition and becuase its a hot topic and I have fomo. the fact i have made a profit as not swayed me in anyway to continue to play or stop, or how I play. its just an added bonus.
Well, long ago were the days in which I played the last computer game I played. In fact, cause same as @paulag and many others here I've never been a computer gamer nor a fan of computer games either.
However, according as 'investments' go, I've heard about some nice stories too. :o)
"Every possession is rented, your 5 minute lease is renewed with each heartbeat"

I know you enjoy my informative & educative audiovisual 'sharings' to illustrate further your point. };)
