Maybe that way it will avoid over-rewarding airdrop hunters (and dumpers), and reward more long-term holders in the Splinterlands ecosystem.
@splinterlands has a good record of doing this type of thing (or at least attempting) to make sure that it is long terms investors and player that is rewarded.
It has been a learning experience for them too. They learned from their own mistakes and now Invenium is trying a different option with this very long-term airdrop and exponential curve.
The Airdrop happening through the next bear market should provide a good incentive to keep SPS and GLX staked. This is very much a necessity for GLX because there is only one game that is on GLS and even that has only a small number of players.
Good observation about the length of the airdrop encompassing the next bear market. That should be favorable to GLS, since it's so early for them and they need any advantage they can create for themselves now, before the any significant adoption of the platform.
It can even make it easier to onboard more developers to GLS by showing the active interest in the platform by investors. Developers want to focus on things they expect to last a long time. That is partially why so many games target EVM chains despite not being great places for gaming.
