@Pixels just added a sabotage mechanic to Chapter 3 and I don't think people are talking about it enough....
you pick a union — Wildgroves, Seedwrights or Reapers.
and then your union can actively disrupt the progress of the other two.
so the second you log in, you're not just a farmer anymore. you are a political actor inside an economy. whether you signed up for that or not.
most Web3 games make the game your enemy.
Bountyfall makes other players your enemy.
that's a completely different psychological contract.
and with a $50,000 $PIXEL reward pool attached to how unions perform.... the conflict isn't theoretical. it's going to be real, and it's going to be messy.
I'm not sure if that's a game design choice or a social experiment dressed up as one. 🤔
