This has to be a scam of some sort, but i don't even see how the people at the top are making money.

Thank you for asking. Let me tell you the truth. NFT gamings, all of them, are Ponzi scheme.

If you look at NFT game as a game, sure, some games are good and have entertainment value, such as Axie Infinity.

But if you look at NFT games as source of income, then they are all Ponzi ?

Think, where the money comes from? Who will pay for the token, the "pet" you breed, the item you get from lootbox ? New user, i.e: new Investors.

That's it. Use money from new investors to pay old investors.

If you are unlucky enough to hold the bag. I.e: player who have not sell their NFT before the game close. You lost your initial investment.
