They're going to holistically synergize the market capitalization to optimize a paradigm shift for shareholders.

They expect it to bomb and they're going to flood it with microtransactions and vague "AI-enhanced fetch quests" or some bullshit.

They're not trying to make a better user experience, squash bugs, or polish the story, they're "extracting value" - I'd stay far away from this one folks.
