Thanks for playing, @hytopia community. Anyone who entered this ecosystem over the past 5 years and stayed around through the three paid mints and at least three token pivots has literally lost their shit. The team has been fumbling around blind for years, trying to figure out how to build utility into multiple NFT collections around a token that never had any utility around an unfinished gaming platform that never had any users. I was once the largest holder here with 1.5M 'invested' into the NFTs. I exited with about a year and a half ago, 65% down. I still have 600 nodes I minted a year and a half ago, only to find out the team 'rugged' all utility by removing the token vesting (which was the selling point). But at least I got something out; most didn't. Sadly, most gaming communities have just been used as a human farm to extract capital from. Buying an NFT and joining a community does not make you anything but a resource. The original NFT World mint was free. The other three were not. Three token name changes, 3 pivots in 3 years, 99% of all the NFT utility from each mint replaced with diminished versions or no utility at all. Let's take away what you paid for, rename it, give you far less, and tell you it's for the good of the community and project. And instead of just releasing the tokens, no, let's find further ways to increase the supply, while restricting the NFT vesting that was paid for via mints. Sounds like a familiar strategy used by teams who rug? I'm not saying this was the classic raise money and vanish into the wind kind of scam. The team legit put the treasury into trying to build out an open gaming world. I do not dispute that. But what was built was an unfinished open-source Roblox wannabe game engine that sort of worked, but never worked enough to actually build real products on. With zero working web3 layers, which was kind of the entire original premise. From the Minecraft metaverse to a Layer 2 gaming chain to an AI-vibe-coded Roblox copycat, @hytopia has tried to do anything and everything. Alas, none of it had any chance of working. The team drew a nice living salary for five years. The community goes to the soup kitchen. It's how most of these gaming stories end up. Not the first, and by far not the last. A lot of things went wrong here, and the team kept on fumbling to build any sort of working ecosystem. Every solution they came out with required yet another NFT mint and a complete pivot. When you see a web team renege on promises and rejig tokenomics, start running for the door. Sadly, those who stuck around, minted and held assets, and trapped themselves in this dying ecosystem over the past 5 years can take comfort in knowing that their sacrifice has not been in vain. You will have helped contribute to the 1-line paragraph in the founder's new LinkedIn update. It's kind of ironic that they survived a cease and desist from Microsoft by building an NFT-powered gaming platform on Minecraft without permission, yet are closing shop because of an unpaid tax bill. Sorry, community, taxes and all. The irony writes itself. Now watch the team invariably pivot, yet again, but this time out of web3, away from their obligations, and into a new AI startup.
