That set of "play and earn" pools in blockchain games, honestly, is just afraid of one word: inflation. Releasing a bunch of tokens daily as rewards, the APR looks lively, but it actually relies on later participants taking over and absorbing the selling pressure; if new entries slow down, the output turns into pure selling pressure, and the pool’s liquidity is drained very quickly. I recently fell into a trap: thinking I’d farm for a few days and then leave, but everyone thought the same, and by the time I tried to leave, the exit was already crowded out...

Now, seeing the stacking of yields from staking and shared security being criticized as "pyramid schemes," I can understand a bit: the underlying cash flow isn’t strong enough, and stacking them just amplifies the same selling pressure and exit rush. Anyway, when I look at blockchain games now, I focus first on where the output comes from and who’s continuously buying, or else even the most attractive dashboards won’t make me stay long.
