Two weeks into this chain game, here’s what players actually withdrew: you can earn, but not the way you think

We asked 12 players for the real numbers that landed and the hours behind them.

The chain game that went live two weeks ago and passed 100,000 community members. We found 12 players who have actually withdrawn and asked three questions: how much went in, how much came out, and how many hours it took.

The numbers

Nine of the twelve are net positive, with a median of NT$ 62 an hour. The top earner made NT$ 310 an hour, but he put in NT$ 45,000 up front for starting assets. The three who are down all joined in week two.

Withdrawals take three to five days on average; two players were stuck in review for over a week.

{"q":"You can earn, but not the way you think. It’s closer to a part-time job than an investment."}

All twelve records, with input, output, hours and join date, are tabulated at the bottom of this piece.
