We think it’s a mistake and against the spirt of open governance to simply add in a discretionary $25m. Even a couple hundred thousand dollars after getting bids or collecting new information would be one thing. But you have added more than 10% to an already enormous cost. This is a very bad look, and has raised alarm bells amongst some investors and community members. We have voted against this proposal and ask other delegates to defeat this proposal, which is far too expensive. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/catalyze-gaming-ecosystem-growth-on-arbitrum/22368)._
