Seriously @drugwars fuck you. Is this post satire or is it just so poorly written that it comes across as grossly incompetent? For one of the most popular dApps on Steem, all I have seen is a lack of professionalism and misstep after misstep.

Would it hurt to hire someone to do PR and maybe hire a fucking proofreader? This was painful to read. And yes, I realise English is clearly not the first language for the team, but hire someone, please. We all know how much money this game has made, we know you can afford it.

Part of running a business and based on the amount of money Drug Wars has made (quite a successful one), you should acknowledge your shortcomings and address them. I am not trying to personally insult anyone here, I am speaking specifically about Drug Wars as a company. This looks like a backroom operation.

This whole entire token switch situation has really blown out of proportion. The switch to the token is happening in like 24 hours and we know absolutely nothing about it. You would have avoided all of this drama if you were forthcoming about all of the details.

You're being secretive about the blockchain the FUTURE token is running on, and yet, you openly admitted in Discord that some people have found the token and already bought some...

And then when you were questioned again about why the secrecy and where the token is, you immediately resort to insults saying if people were smart enough, they would know where to find the token. Is it bar trivia night and I wasn't told?

Are you having fun? Is insulting the community when they ask valid questions because you would rather method act for the role of The Riddler in the next Batman movie really the way a "professional" and popular dApp should act?

The tone of this article is beyond arrogant, and I am not just referring to the clickbait title.

Obviously drugwars was allways the opposite of a ponzi scheme

Are you fucking kidding me, really? Even some of your most popular players and prominent members of the Steem community admit it's a Ponzi. Whether it was intentional or not, it was definitely a Ponzi scheme and now you're swapping a real tradeable cryptocurrency for some new Monopoly money. You might as well give everyone Bitcoin Cash, at least it would be worth something.

You really should be ashamed of yourselves. This isn't even about the money any more, it's about the gross negligence, incompetence and lack of care you have for the Steem community. You could have easily used Steem Engine for your token, you didn't have to use another blockchain. Look, here is a FUTURE token right here on Steem Engine.

I mean, the red flags were there. The rewards kept changing as the Ponzi collapsed (like all Ponzi schemes eventually do). The incidents like the time Hightouch just freely added units into his account breaking Blockchain Verifiability. Changing features and core mechanics of the game without telling the community.

More red flags like the UI being so poorly written, the amateurishness of hosting a popular dApp on what appeared to be a cheap Heroku plan and taking weeks to bump up the resources for the API as it was clearly being crushed by the traffic.

Even now, the UI is buggy as hell. My F5 key is all but broken from having to constantly refresh. And you're focusing on the wrong things and one thing that is immediately obvious to me: you didn't reinvest the money back into growing the game.

You should have hired someone to do PR. Hired someone to proofread these horrific posts that read like you're having a stroke. You should have hired more developers.

Change is inevitable and that's not even the problem here. The mind games, the lack of communication and the arrogance of Drug Wars are the problems here. We are not mad there is a new token, we are mad we don't know shit about it and it's switching over tomorrow.

Don't get me started on the fact that the token is premined. And we still don't know what the intentions were behind the new token. Are the Drug Wars team being paid by anyone else, are there new investors coming in we don't know about? How about some disclosure for once, some transparency.

Without information, all we have is speculation and from the outset, it looks to me like a third-party is involved in this, maybe a new investor. If we don't get a whitepaper and specifics about the new token, and disclosure of how much the team has premined, your credibility is all but gone.

And before people think this is about money, it's not. To me, this is about defending the honour and reputation of the Steem blockchain. When dApps like Drug Wars are effectively representing the entire community, I expect them to at least try and be professional. I expect effort put into announcement posts, an effort put into transparency. you could have easily run this blog post through a spellchecker and it would have been way more readable.

Your poor actions affect us all. Anyone who owns STEEM or SBD, they're affected by the poor decisions of dApp developers like you. And people like myself trying to build their own stuff, you just make people cautious and wary of trusting another dApp and that hurts anyone who wants to do the right thing. When you betray the trust of the community, you're hurting everyone.

As for the spelling and grammatical mistakes, you could pay someone 20 STEEM to write your posts for you, easily. Heck, some might even do it for 10 STEEM.

This is just plain embarrassing for Steem. If you don't turn this ship around, you're going to crash into the rocks. You have the lighthouse guiding you home, so step up and start running Drug Wars like it's at least a semi-serious business.

The parallels to the Dlive situation are uncanny here.
