Marketing and sales strategies are excellent for this game. It unifies in game purchases focused on whales like with mobile games and selling early access to an alpha. There’s also an aspect of collectibles and exclusivity like with NFTs. It‘s also cult like in many aspects. An utopian perfectionist vision evangelized by a prophet.

Everyone who bought in defending the practices is a perfect example of cultish behaviour and copium.

Heck, I bought in, but I only paid $20. And I never played a minute.
