TRON Hives

There are so many crypto collectible games that seem to exist purely to separate you from your crypto.
TRONhives is so clearly doing exactly that... but in a way that is more fleshed out than usual.

TRON's beehives game that is available in 8 different languages and is all about making the right decisions to maximise your ROI. It has over a thousand users logging in per day, which is actually fairly impressive for a Dapp at the moment.

You use TRX tokens to buy Wax, which is used to purchase Bees and a beehive. The better your hive, or the better your combination of bees, the more honey you produce. The honey can either be converted back to TRX tokens, or used to substitute for Wax.

The question for these types of games is; in order for me to win, who has to lose? It's honestly not clear here, especially since Wax gets airdropped... which maybe makes it a Ponzi?
