They can't get legit human new players (are they even trying at this point?). There are many reasons for this, but the fact the game is built on HIVE is probably the biggest one. EVERY move they make is centered on existing users, whales in particular. It's amazing they just keep doubling down. They know their goose is cooked as far as game adoption is concerned and the only way forward isn't a card came, it's staking and 'tokenomics' shell game. It's about enticing suckers with deep pockets to keep spending to keep the sham going.
