The bigger the Pixels, the more I think that no-pet 500+ PIXEL route is not as much of a flex as it is a systems test. Chapter 2 gave all new players a Tier 1 house, trees, soils and a mine and the task board was then attached to provide greater daily PIXEL earnings. That makes me believe that Pixels is trying to build an economy where routine, routing and production coordination precedes and premium assets.
Interesting design decision is the token logic of that loop. In Pixels, the more difficult-capped token, PIXEL, is earned in order to purchase premium features like pets, guilds and memberships; and in-game spending can also earn a community treasury which will be managed by a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) in the future. That would hypothetically tie up effort, sinks, and governance, more effectively than a simple emissions farm.
My open question is what will be the result of the excess of having too many players in the same way. When a loop gets congested, reward compression may occur extremely fast and this is the point in which the retention problem starts to develop. I will observe the quality of work, repetition of work during quiet weeks and whether PIXEL spending is a real measure of demand or a false extraction. That is why the model is a desirable one to follow.
