Splinterlands Glint meanings - Gone Like Icarus, Near The Sun

With the latest Splinterlands changes where you don't play to earn anymore, but rather play for some zero value in game assets, I need to write some funny stuff in order not to explode. GLINT is the new in game token which can be used, as you guessed, only to purchase in game assets from the Shop which can never leave this realm. So, let's have some fun on how the GLINT asset naming has been created. The GLINT brand or acronym can easily have been created from any of the bellow satiric phrases.

Gold Luring Investment Now Totally Worthless

That time you decided exotic investments like Splinterlands were your new hobby, only to learn that not all that glitters is gold.

That online play2earn game you've read about promised sure wins, but all you got were lessons in what not to do next time.

By writing this article I've tried to laugh through how scared I were from the direction Splinterlands is heading towards: nowhere. Instead of keeping the path of decentralization, play2earn tradeable assets, we went towards in game assets. A shift from web3 to web2 through which I felt that the user's powers have been taken overnight and once a game that we were worshiping and believed in, now seems to be metamorphizing into any other game from 10 years ago. I tried to have at least some fun about the situation in which we find ourselves.

I must confess that my preferred acronym for GLINT is "Gone Like Icarus, Near The Sun". Which is yours?
