Why do people freak out so much about this 800million game when there are more than one 200 or 300million dollar games out there that are literally assets flim scams for crypto bros?

I think this just had a larger community and more of a "Play the alpha! It's awesome!" userbase that's persisted in defiance of any kind of common sense. Like, there's something resembling a game in there, it's just a buggy piece of shit.

The pump-and-dump crypto scams don't tend to last ten months much less ten years. They're vaporware from day one, so there's no mediocre sandbox of broken hopes and dreams to play around in.
