Well it's going to be free to play so expect lots of garbage monetization

Tencent owns Digital Extremes as of a few years ago, and last I knew its monetization wasn't too bad. So maybe there's a slim chance they'll take a lesson from that?

I'm sure that's a stretch though since DE built up their payment model many years prior and were bought when they were already successful with a large playerbase. A new franchise is likely a very different story.

Yep. Tencent has a major share in Path of Exile too and that game is beyond generous being f2p with no p2w.

I remain cautious but optimistic for all games. There's nothing wrong with being excited. Just dont buy into stuff without proof and you wont be disappointed.

At worst, it's just not what you thought it'd be and you dont buy/play it.
