Recently, a few blockchain game pools have started "paying wages" again.

At first, everyone was pretty excited, but then they realized that the output was like opening the floodgates: more and more tokens, demand not keeping up, the pool depth being drained little by little, and when prices soften, everything turns into mutual stomping.
To put it simply, it's not that the game isn't fun, but that the economic model treats inflation as a benefit, and in the end, the benefits turn into pressure.

Now, whenever I see high yields, I first ask: who is paying for this output?
If it can only be sustained by new players taking over, then I’d rather just ride a small wave of volatility, set a clear exit rule, and leave—don’t treat "daily returns" as a salary.
Recently, everyone’s complaints about miner/validator income, MEV, and unfair ordering are quite real, and this "invisible tax" on-chain stacking up makes those thin profits in the game even harder to sustain.

Anyway, I don’t need to be understood; I just accept one principle: the pools that survive are definitely not relying on printing tokens endlessly.
That’s all for now.
