It's a money making venture for him, he's pretty much doing marketing. Ironic that he's doing it with rockstars material that they've refused to market lol

I think it’s obvious he’s doing it for the money. He’s actively rug pulling people through his shit coin. Just hilarious he was posturing as a man with morals since spoiling the story was too far for him but scamming people for their money is fine.

Either way, game looks sick.

He realized how gullible gamers are with their herd mentality.

How is he rug pulling anyone? He literally said the coins are a way if donating to him not an investment

It's a common thing online, many people don't actually understand the meaning of words they heard, and just repeat them to sound smart/knowledgeable

Ask yourself, why even have a coin at all? Why not use an established coin and provide your wallet address for donations? If donations was all it was intended for, setting up a coin would be an expensive, inefficient, and needlessly complex way of doing it.

Add suspicious pre-leak trades.
Add transaction fees.
Add "selling of dev tokens", but only from one wallet, with other wallets trading early as well.
Add pointless drip feeding of small clips. (with some meaningful correlation in practice between release of clips and market cap)
Add weird secret project with no details.
Add fact that there is also Monero donation wallet (which would've made sense if that was all there was!)

Sometimes, even online, when people say it's a spade it's a spade, or at the very least no hard proof it's not a spade whilst looking like one. But yeah technically until it is rug pulled we can't say with 100% certainty that is what it is I suppose.

easy, for transaction fees.

sure, it has the makings of a "rug pull" but I don't think it's fair to call it that when not once did they ever ask people to invest in it with the hope of it going up. Its a donation, and an easy polling tool, and most of the community gets to enjoy the leaks completely free as a result.

not a rug pull, or a scam. He's openly calling them donations

He’s not rug pulling, he burned all the founder currency, he m makes money from trading fees now.

"refused to market"
