Shooter game but real money is on the line. Would you play?

1•MikeyLi•2h ago
Everybody puts in the same amount of money to enter the game, e.g. $1.

Third person shooter game (similar to Fortnite and Shell Shockers), but probably minimal features to keep the game less complicated and easy to learn. Keep the game environment decently small to there is intense action. map design will try to avoid camping spots and hiding spots.

If I kill a player i get all of their money. Open server ffa. maybe $1, $5, $10 servers. Have a protective shield for players

Cash out by standing still for 3 seconds

You get slight stat boosts (health and damage buffs) the more money you collect to incentivise big jackpots to still play and not cash out because of advantage.

And then the house takes a small fee of people's winning to keep servers running and getting more people to play

Probably uses cryptocurrency to play with

Would you play?

also considerations I need help with: - how do I deal with lag in such a high stake game - how to prevent cheats and bugs - Legal stuff
