Play-to-Airdrop Controversy: Ethereum Game Requires VIP Membership for Rewards Is The Machines Arena’s Airdrop Just Another Ploy to Boost Token Prices?

Summary:

The Machines Arena (TMA), an Overwatch-style hero shooter, is launching a play-to-airdrop campaign on the Ronin network, where players can earn TMA tokens by completing in-game activities and quests.

The Machines Arena, an Overwatch-style hero shooter viewed from an overhead perspective, is launching a play-to-airdrop campaign leading up to the debut of its TMA token on Ethereum scaling network Ronin.

Starting July 30, players will be able to earn points through activities such as completing quests and leveling up. The amount of points you earn ranks you on the play-to-airdrop (P2A) leaderboard, which will decide the amount of TMA tokens you receive.

The event will end right before the token generation event (TGE), the action that will launch TMA onto the Ronin network. According to a blog post, the event is slated to last eight weeks, but the developer states that it could “end sooner.”

Playing games, completing quests, and leveling up will all give you points, so continuing to play the game as usual will still rank you somewhere on the leaderboard. Owning and holding tokenized in-game assets will also grant you points, but if you don’t purchase the “VIP membership,” then this will all be in vain.

That’s because a VIP membership is required to rank on the leaderboard and participate in the play-to-airdrop campaign. In other words, you’ll need some skin in the game to earn towards the airdrop. But by purchasing the membership, you’ll also unlock new ways to earn points.
