It feels like you are agreeing with me only to go back to defending the thing you call sick? My whole point is that we might not be able to change the system, but we can at least refuse to accept it.

Other points touching on ideas you raise:

1. If I understand correctly, has a 20% premine system of AXS that represents ownership of the platform. Even if it didn't have a premine, this is the same as having a public corporation owning the platform. If Axie was a co-op where every player had 1 vote and would share equally in the profits, it'd be a bit differen, but otherwise, you can just buy tencent share if you want t participate in the success of the game 2. You are describing any game with tradeable assets, e.g. Pokemon. Right now, millionaires are making more money with pokemon unboxing (or maybe that fad died already), and similarly whoever has the best starting position will cash in on Axie...as long as enough people FOMO in 3. Which goes back to the dual fundamental sicknesses of capital tendency to concentrate and corrupt if left unchecked and profiting off of these easily exploited human desires without providing value in return. If you enjoy playing a game, you will pay for a game. That's fine. But we call artificial sparsity, spaced random rewards etc. dark patterns for a reason. Acting like the business model of e.g. brother's a tale of two sons and Axie are the same is disingenuous (and DotA existed without needing a company running the skinner Box...)
