>>54060384It's a pretty early stage game now. Like, earlier than Genshin's alpha (pre CBT1). And you can look some of Genshin's early betas up - CBT1 and beyond have footage out there. They removed an awful lot of jank from the game between that and the release day.
Is it likely that they will build it up into a good, or at least a decent game? Doesn't seem so. The more likely outcome would be that they ship it in a shitty unfinished state, get their talent to promote it anyway, and fans still buy enough MTX to make them the development costs back.
But it's not impossible that they'll actually get their shit together and deliver a decent game. I've been gamedev-adjacent for a while, and there are wilder stories of success (and failure) out there.
