They have been bragging about lots of things they've brought the community, among which are financial freedom and ironically, their virtual of humility.
One may not have a bank account for several reasons, and some are personal choice.
That people need to get a bank account to receive revenues from playing the game is not a flex.
And please kindly ignore the fact that a decentralized and blockchainified organization is proud that its client have to engage in centralized behavior.
It seems now that Sky Mavis is so desperate that the company could do anything to divert people from the fact that they are losing money.
Of course, people've had enough already. Here are some responses from players. You can read more here.

It's already 7 days. At first, I would say this was not a good time to join Axie Infinity. Now all I can say is take great caution before you buy into this game, lest you'll be blamed for being scammed; blamed by Sky Mavis and people from Axiebuzzie. Mind you they don't warn you about issues when they advertise for this game.
Of course I do hope that is just a huge case of poor management and not a scam, since I too, have put money into this game and there are lots of people who depend on it to make ends meet in these times of uncertainty. But surely that is not a reason to suffer their misdeed any longer.
