I’ll offer a better alternative. Allocate most company resources focusing on improving the game and adding content and leave a skeleton crew for the paid shinys.
Also, allow players to earn the premium currency through gameplay. It would most likely be a drip feed, but a drip feed is better than ZERO. Or maybe copy VT2 and make it to where completing challenges awards you with small amounts of premium currency. OR they can just make most of the cosmetics purchasable with our docketts and make special skin packs as DLC like Deep Rock Galactic does. We all know that won’t happen because of FS’s God Emperor Xi Jinping. But we can always dream right?
