I'm sorry, Mike! Hospitals aren't really fun to begin with. Everyone there would rather be somewhere else. That's crazy they have such horrible chairs in a back doctor's office. It seems like he's just trying to create or keep patients who come in by giving them worse backs.

I don't know how the Steem Monsters system will work either. That's been one thing I wished they had done differently. Rather than only letting people test the game who have enough money to buy the good cards, let everyone try it. Those who are buying the good cards are already likely to win. Why also give them the advantage of a month+ of extra practice time. I've seen videos and such, but I still don't know how to create my team or what will be a good team.

I think SM could be cool, but if the lower-end people aren't able to have fun and keep playing the game, then it's just going to be the few elites still going at it. That's not much of a market. I'm not sure the technical details behind allowing people to play, but it doesn't seem like it would be that much of a stretch to let people at least try it out! Maybe even create some bots to play against so people can practice. If we only get one game per day, we're going to want to make it count, even if we don't have the Steem to buy 1,000 packs.

See, like you, I can imagine worse situations. :P Nah, I'm still excited for SM, just not expecting to do well.
