the goal was to simulate being a movie mogul, blending fantasy sports mechanics with the decision-making process of a film studio.

Ok, that bit I can get behind. But not with blockchain bullshit attached.

There are multiple film studio management games (with different approaches to gameplay mechanics) that are probably a much better choice:

I recommend Lula, the sexy empire.

Hahaha. No.

Free alternative game.

Two players/teams. One side picks two actors and the other side has to come up with a plot.

The characters the actors play can be any age [ if you pick Helen Mirren or Clint Eastwood they can be any age from 20s to current age] You have to pick two actors who were never in a movie together [ Bette Davis and Vin Diesel eg]

Does this mean my 3 remaining shares of HMNY (after an insane reverse split) will be worth more than 0 after all these years?

Pretty sure it's a different company with the same people, so no. The original founder bought the assets back at bankruptcy sale, including the name.

Damn, it's the original founder? But, that guy actually gave a shit and I wanted him to succeed! The company got taken over by finance bros who just wanted to party, ipo, and walk away from a failing business they made, I assumed it would have been them, given the crypto

Yep, Stacy Spikes. The weird part is he actually did reincarnate moviepass in the original concept (https://www.moviepass.com/ is live) but also attached this weird crypto shit to it

That's actually a pretty interesting comeback for MoviePass. Mixing movies, gaming and crypto sounds a bit unusual, but sometimes those weird ideas end up being the most fun. I've been trying different crypto-related games lately, and one I genuinely enjoyed was the bitcoin mining games on RollerCoin It’s easy to get into, and the mini-games are kinda addictive. Not huge earnings or anything, but I had a good time using it and learning more about crypto.
