I just noticed the +1 thingy that pops up when you upvote a post.

It's hard NOT to click it; it means extra progress in NOTHING AT ALL BUT WHO CARES!

This subreddit is draining my upvotes.

Why do I still see this on he fron t page :?

Click the upvote button and it will go up by 1. There are no upgrades as of yet though.

I’m open to feedback!

Hi friends,

After monitoring community sentiment on the topic for a while and especially with the rise of NFT in the last few months, we've decided that posts about games involving real cryptocurrency are no longer permitted here.

Our two primary issues with cryptocurrency in games are:

1. Many appear to be scams that greatly benefit the original holders of the currency or tokens but only serve to exploit the players.

2. The use of cryptocurrency with games poses a significant and real threat to the planet by way of increased power consumption.

This rule is effective immediately however we will continue to take feedback and monitor the feelings of the community in case this change turns out to not be beneficial.

Here are some examples of types of posts that are no longer permitted:

• Games where gameplay takes place on a cryptocurrency blockchain via smart contracts

• Games where gameplay is modified by properties of a cryptocurrency blockchain

• Games where cosmetic changes depend on properties of a cryptocurrency blockchain

• Games that are funded via NFTs or other cryptocurrency concepts

• Games that interface with a blockchain

• Games that mine cryptocurrency

• Posts like "Here's a cryptocurrency game that is actually one of the good ones!"

• (This list is not exhaustive)

Here are some examples of types of posts that are still permitted:

• Games that just use cryptocurrency as the theme

• Games that simulate cryptocurrency concepts but are not associated with a real cryptocurrency

• Posts like "Are cryptocurrency games still bad enough to be banned?"

Feel free to discuss here and continue to provide feedback over time about this or any other rules that we do or don't have. The best way to contact us is via modmail.

I always sigh when someone looking for advice on a game is told to go to a game's discord channel. Most of the time the guides that are in Discord channels are just google documents that could be linked to externally anyway. It's personal preference that I don't join them myself, but should you really have to be expected to go looking for unofficial guides in chat channels to figure out certain parts of an idle game?

I'm like I should get working on mine, then by the time the kids are asleep and I get some free time what do I do? Play incremental games instead of developing. /rant

Edit: if this post gets 100 upvotes, I'm going to make a playable prototype by December. If this post gets 1k upvotes, I'm going to make a playable prototype by end of June. If this post gets 10k upvotes I'm going to take the next two weeks off work (if they let me) and make a playable prototype in 2 weeks :P

update Guess December prototype is on, I will not fail you!
