When Steem Monsters was first announced, I thought it was pretty cool. At least in theory. But then it started to be talked about and I kinda started to lose my excitement. I was never into Pokemon. I was kinda into Magic: The Gathering for a while, and had a pretty big collection, at least for a kid, but I kinda lost interest. I could never find anyone to play with, then I wasn't really interested when I moved to a place where more people played...or perhaps it was because I was a bit older and so were they, so they stopped playing pokemon and some converted to MTG. Whatever. So I wasn't that excited.
But I still supported the fact that they made a game on the Steem blockchain! That's cool.
So when I found out that they were doing fund raising for Steem Monsters, I backed them. I actually had never backed anything on that site before.
But it took forever for them to deliver the rewards to backers, and I missed the email once it did arrive. I get a fuckton of email.
But I figured it had arrived...I have figured it likely arrived a long time ago. But I just didn't feel like checking.
So, today, I finally bothered to search for the email and redeem my Steem Monsters cards.
And I got two gold foils! Plus the promo gold Dragon Whelp.
Then I started looking up how to level up cards...because I have these gold cards, I should level them up before selling them, right?
I knew that you could level up a card by combining it with another...but I didn't know that was the only way...
The second I found out that the only way to level up a card was by combining it with another of the same type...I didn't want anything to do with Steem Monsters.
I'm not gonna pay like $100 or more to level up a fucking card! WTF! Fuck this game.
I'm not a rich man. I probably have more shit than I need...and if I sold some of that shit, maybe I'd have a nice chunk of change...but I don't have the money to waste a bunch of cash on a stupid fucking game. I probably shouldn't have even spent money on that stupid fucking DrugWars game. I'm not going to waste a bunch of fucking money leveling up cards for this stupid fucking Steem Monsters game.
I tried watching a few things on how to fucking play. I don't get it. It's not intuitive. I have no interest in it.
So now, here I am, someone who actually backed Steem Monsters on whatever fucking site that was, with special edition crap, wanting to sell it all, because I fundamentally disagree with a game mechanic that requires you to spend far too much money to level up some stupid fucking digital assets with, frankly, really fucking ugly graphics. Some of the cards are cute, but the majority suck.
So, what am I supposed to do? What price do I sell them at? If I check out the prices online, they're actually not that great. Though I probably will make more than I spent on them, even if I sold them at the bottom rate. So maybe I should just sell them and buy Steem.
Comments appreciated. Unless you're gonna bitch about the fact that I think it's a stupid fucking game. Then you can go get bent.
