I hate to admit it but there are still players that are into the game and never get tired of the bs the game itself and mechanics provided.
Depends when you got in, if you remember, during early days of Axie Infinity people made huge amounts of money playing it. It's possible that they got ROI back and still playing just for fun, or some playing for fun without care for ROI at all.
You might be extra sour cause you lost money with it
the hype is dead on it again and I guess that people who have hoped that there will be a liveable gaming career through games like that will have to think again. The best way to make money into a game is becoming pro on it.
Regarding becoming professional — blockchain games don't have significant playerbase, mechanics, are short lived and often not catered for professional environment in first place.
I still see hope in blockchain gaming space. For that we are in dire requirement of feeless blockchain, often the requirement of money to play is huge roadblock in itself.
