Let's be honest. The marketing team was pointless. Unless the marketing team was dishing up some sponsors and connections that's when it would be worth it otherwise the best marketing comes from your userbase. $250k a month operating costs seems stupid high still.
Also no reason why Splinterlands the company shouldn't be investing in stable assets to growth wealth. Interest rates on treasury bonds are at all time highs and can produce some income. It seems like piss poor management and a sheer lack of getting anything done for the last year. I mean look at the last year what actully was done and pushed forward to the community? Next to nothing.
With that said though I feel like we are FINALLY on the right track again but I'm not so trusting that they wont repeat these expense mistakes again.
