The in-game shop is our attempt at being realistic with the business of running an online game but trying to find a way to do it without resorting to random loot boxes and FOMO items.

“We want to offer players a fair way to support us while enjoying the game,” he continues.

My takeaway is paying money for loot drops.

Didn't say cosmetics.

So the game is pay to win.

This is such a useless article, no details at all with what they are selling in the shop, no analysis on its effect on the game, just a quote from the developer.
