Back in December, CryptoKitties had the opportunity to do introduce crypto to the general public with a fun, gamified, virtual pet - EXCEPT, they chose to use Ethereum, a network that doesn't scale and cannot handle rapid increases in transactions. Not to mention having one of the most complicated transaction fee systems ever devised. We watched as the Ethereum network was brought to its knees by the rush of people buying and breeding digital kittens.
We all had our laughs and made some great MEMEs.
If only CryptoKitties and all the other "copyCAT" virtual pet apps were developed on a chain that could handle the transactions with ease, and with no front end fees to the users, the outcome would have been so much different.
Sample Save the Kittens MEME by @SteemPowerPics
MEOW, the poor little kitties are being abandoned and left out in the the cold and are in need of a savior. Even with EOSIO still in development, they could have chosen STEEM. Heck - they could have chosen physical trading cards delivered by US Postal mail and it would have worked out better.
Just look at the real data that matters over on http://blocktivity.info and see why we spend so much time praising out DPoS blockchains.
