Addicted Sparks “Ponzi Game” Debate

[bonk]

Addicted’s rapid rewards have led some players to label it a “Ponzi game”, due to early adopters’ advantages. Developers implemented daily cool-downs and reward halvings to extend gameplay and improve fairness.

The game’s success follows the trend of short-lived crypto games, like April’s Bigcoin, which saw huge early gains before collapsing.

Players like Tyler Stockfield argue Addicted is more fun, community-focused, and sustainable than meme coin trading, marking a new wave of Web3 gaming experiences on Solana.

Always the same argument when a game gets too profitable too fast. Let’s see if Addicted proves them wrong.

Great to see a Solana-based game getting real traction. The ecosystem needed more successful gaming titles like this.
