RE: Drugwars - Introducing FUTURE the new DrugWars Token.

in #drugwars6 years ago

Am I missing something here?

Yes, you are. You’re missing the fact that the game states that players will be paid out in STEEM. It was billed as “play and win STEEM,” not “play and win worthless shittokens that we haven’t created yet.”

So, users spent their STEEM to upgrade their accounts so that they would have a chance of earning more STEEM in return. But as it turns out, the game developers decided to not honor that. Instead, they are keeping much of that STEEM.

They have advertised a game that pays you in a specific currency, then, after many thousands of dollars in that currency was used on the game with the hope of earning that currency back, they are switching payouts to a different non-existent and/or worthless currency. It’s textbook marketing fraud and it’s prosecutable in most legal jurisdictions.

So yes...very scammy, indeed.

"are terms subject to change?"

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW THE FUCKING BALLS ON THIS GUY!

I hope the fucking SEC comes for your throat.

DRUGWARS 100% COMMITTED FRAUD!

Stop looking at my balls. Why would the SEC come for my throat? Cause I like the game? Are you wishing violence on me? You seem like a real nice dude.

I love how upset emotional people get when you ask them a legitimate question... are the terms of this game subject to change? yes? Court case closed.

People are treating the SEC as some sort of attack dog to threaten people with. What happened to this place?

Abusing within your rights doesn't suddenly turn everything you do into ethical. It's a shitty move regardless of whether they were allowed to do it.

Unethical and illegal are totally different arguments. We can argue it is unethical. I would actually be quite sympathetic to that argument. But people throw around scam and "illegal" far too easily and it damages innovation.

Yes! People think that because things are legal it's OK to abuse and fuck people over within the laws.

I see your argument and will address it in a future video. Also, I do have a couple questions; where do any SMT or ERC20 coin get their value from? If it utilizes steem and can be exchanged for steem isnt it steem? Or its skeleton is steembased, doesn't that help steem?
