Be aware that some teams will try to get something out of the @AbstractChain debacle by playing the "hero" and giving abs users early access, wl spots and more worthless trash to hook you into their (most likely worthless) product/game and drag you even further into the abyss

Imagine opening a pizza shop called @AbstractChain . The place is amateuristic; the service is terrible, and the pizza tastes horrendous. Hardly anyone in their right mind would order anything there.
You then create a massive rewards campaign. Every order earns points and you go ALL IN on telling customers they are going to want as many of those points as possible. You constantly tease what's coming, boast about the future with very bold statements about rewards, announce partnerships, and tell everyone you're building the future of pizza.
People keep coming back. They eat terrible food they otherwise wouldn't touch. Some even spend ridiculous amounts of money because you've deliberately made collecting points the main reason to consume your products.
And it works. The place is busy. Money pours in. From the outside, it looks like people must really love your pizza. But the demand isn't for the food at all. It's demand you've created through the huge expectations attached to your incentive system. And you keep and keep and keep dangling carrots.
An eternity later, almost 2 years to be exact, the revolutionary pizza never arrives. The promised rewards never come. Customers are furious, and you close the restaurant and go:
"We appreciate our customers but they will get nothing. Thanks for playing and spending millions and millions while we kept dangling carrots. You made a ton of teams including a lot of scammers a whole lot richer."

Details below ⬇️
Not sure if this has been addressed, but the time window after the cleanup update in @OnchainChemists rugpull bakery skewed the fairness of the game.
Mid season changes that massively change the output should not happen (especially in a competitive game with money on the line).
Some players benefited a lot from that window, while others got diluted heavily. It's just being online at the right time(no strategy involved). It also opened the door for multi-accounting and agents to exploit this at scale.
Will this be addressed? IMO, it has to be for the prize distribution to be fair. Either normalize the numbers from that window, or remove that production entirely (and refund txs).
