Tron’s New Experiment Game Needs You to Play It For It To Exist

Team Just, known for the Tron blockchain based gambling game Fomo3D, has launched a new game. Dubbed Just.Game, it functions as a self-decentralizing (or autodecentric, as developers put it) entity which relies on humans to achieve its goals and fulfill its desires.

On December 23 Tron CEO Justin Sun tweeted that the average virtual game payroll has already exceeded 500 Million TRX ($7 Million in value).

The developers say that the game is a ”showcase of how blockchain technology can be used to create an autonomous company that constantly generates revenue and distributes it to anyone crazy enough to play with it.” Just.Game keeps decentralizing by distributing financial rewards to participants.

The whitepaper describes the game as an experiment on the edge of psychology. ”Participants are outright expected to become emotionally attached to the results of this experiment.” it states. The paper also introduces the precursor AI named CURVY (cute, unstoppable, recursive, virus, yikes), warning, that ”it has no intelligence, it’s not controlling you, it’s not trying to keep you here forever, it’s Just. a. Game”.

The game was launched on December 22, with Justin Sun stating that the entire game is running on blockchain without human control.

To play the game only a smartphone, a modern browser and an email address are required, there is no need to install something or possess initial knowledge about the wallet, though the wallet is needed. TRX can be bought on exchanges Poloniex or Binance, withdrawn to the Tron wallet and used to buy boxes each containing TRX 25.

Co-creator of Moloch DAO Ameen Soleimani found the idea particularly interesting. ”Maybe the first AI findom [financial domination]?” he asks and then adds: ”Like FOMO3D, it’s a Ponzi, Pyramid, and Lottery in one. And an MLM. Push a button, the game keeps going. Last 100 win a prize. Last 1 wins more. Constant stream of dividends, bonuses for affiliates. Random bonuses for those who make it to the end. Compounding via reinvestment.”

Sun has been actively engaged in promoting the game, stating that within an hour after it was launched they had around 8,000 users and 75,000 requests for the testnet. He also said that he is ready to invest 100 million TRX to invest in the game.

People expressed different opinions concerning the game: some found it cool, some believed, that Sun should pay more attention to existing Tron dapps (decentralized apps), and some thought that it is just a scam.
