The fact that they already have "a" microtransaction available means they invested a significant amount of time building out the infrastructure required to support them, there is a 0% chance they aren't planning on putting in more once the game gets big
Not familiar with the game in question, but look at games like Deep Rock Galactic. No pay to win there, but they sell plenty of purely cosmetic "supporter" DLC because people do in fact like to show support when they think they've got a good deal and are enjoying the game.
That's a fair point, I just think it's a little early to be hyping up a game for not having microtransactions when we don't really know what the plan is
