The tl;dr:
They scammed ICO backers and after few years delivered a free game with in app purchases to feed Lingham scammer (who bought a big part of company for $40K) and Apple Inc. (30% cut from app and in app purchases), no use for DTB, no use for any blockchain bullshit they have been pushing for years.
Hey Sammy, thanks for your contribution.
If you have a minute, you can read the
Q4 plan, which goes into the details of the blockchain integration happening this quarter, which includes creature swaps and tokenisation, and ability to use DTB in the game.
Vinny invested for 20% of the business, and while he is not personally involved in the game or the day to day proceedings of Augmentors, his company has provided invaluable connections, people and ideas. Regardless of your opinion of him, without him Augmentors may not even have been here. As for app stores, if you want an app that is globally available then this is unfortunately the way things are at this moment in time, until a better alternative presents itself.
In the past year and 8 months since the ICO, we have been working hard to cater to both gamers and investors alike, and now that we have the foundation of the game up and running we can work on the blockchain aspect of it. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a full game. The team is still small, but works incredibly hard every day on producing the best possible merger between AR, blockchain and gaming. Augmentors are pioneers in this, and it doesn't happen overnight. We get one shot at this, as one of the first, and we want to make sure everything is 100%.
