@ats-david that's true indeed and you state valid facts.. However, this is still a huge fail and I'll explain why.
You landed here from another site such as Google
You haven't heard of the steem blockchain before.
You find steem monsters appealing and purchase the starter set. You join the discord and start competing in the giveaway posts hoping you will earn some free cards
You are blocked after creating 3 comments for some epic card giveaways because you have 0sp after creating an account on steem monsters official website
Scratch head and abandon card's and steem account after a negative experience
Will our new accounts on kickstarter be created via the same method? Let's hope the bugs are ironed out before this

right.
But at the same time, steemmonsters is a privately owned business. They should make things clearer on what you're getting for your money.
I don't think steem monsters Inc intentions are having accounts you can't use?
What's the point of that? If anything it's bringing new users to steem and good for steems ecosystem

Depends on how you define use.
From what I've seen the costs for customer JSON opperations are very low (This is how steem monsters works) So it would be reasonable that a privately owned business only creates accounts that are capable of being readily used on their site. But if you want to do more with them then you'll have to actually buy some steem and power it up.
Assuming it has a few starters the first guide will be how to sell your first steemmonsters card to fund your account so you can use steemit and not play the game lol... Without a foundation of reasonable interaction no one will stick around.
It’s at this point that you should find answers to any questions and assistance with any issues. That’s the job of the game/interface owners to explain to their new users. It would be irresponsible of them to collect money for account creation and not explain the limitations of the accounts. If they are truly free accounts, they should still explain how the system works.
Regardless, it isn’t a problem with RCs.
