RE: Is Splinterlands worth playing in 2025? Pros, cons, and real community opinions
Thank you very much for the comment. Regarding the card sales, I know this because I bought two cards and put them up for sale. I couldn't sell them for $0.05 more than their price, and out of boredom, I sold them at a loss. Regarding rentals, I disagree with what you're saying. A card that costs $2, and when you look at rental prices, it's $2 to $3 per day, which isn't a good price. It would take more than a year to recoup your investment.

I honestly didn't know that you could even buy and sell cards without a spellbook.
Anyway, from what you're saying you're approaching the game as an investor rather than as a player. That's fine but your view on things will still be warped and limited then.
I don't know which cards you tried to flip and why. However I think we can agree that you've got no one but yourself to blame if you got bored and sold them at a loss 🤣 This is a space that rewards patience.
There's definetely a market for all of the cards but if you only have two to sell you'll have a lot of competition and patience will be required.
The rental situation is trickier. It's true that the returns on rentals are limited but that's just the way they're intended to work. They're supposed to be a temporary way to patch up your collection and try to win some games. It's actually an incredibly convenient way for people that can't afford a great budget to still enjoy the game at some level.
There's no hard rule in place for the rental prices, it's all about the supply and the demand. Of course if the ROI would be huge everyone would own Splinterlands cards to make some profit.
If you're just after the profit, which is a bit shortsighted, you're better off staking your money somewhere else like in some liquidity pool.
More in general, just like Hive, Splinterlands is predicated upon the long term value of its assets which is not something that can be measured after a few months with a simple formula.
Again, I'm not trying to convert you. It's an exciting project but it has some flaws. It's just that I don't think it's the ones you're talking about there.
I hope I've given you some perspective 😉
