Does the game have a socialist foundation? I’ve played it several times and I don’t see it.
The union in the game is corrupt as fuck, if you become a Marxist you get told all the flaws in the ideology (just like all the other ideologies you can follow).
I believe a generous free trial paired with a subscription model is currently the best way to go about MMO monetization when it comes to ethics and financial viability.
I take monthly cost over aggressive fomo advertisements of dumber and dumber immersion breaking skins and performance hogging flashy effects any day. Even worse if there is also pay to win. Most of those mtx monetization models prey on wales who fall for this type of addiction easily.
