I hope devs don't listen to the community for changes, they're so bad.

I watched the push to talk podcast video, huge recommend where they talk about some of the fears here, they seem confident about monetization, one of their examples was having extra performant servers with better anticheat up for subscription like counterstrike does.

It also seems like once you show that your company is valuable you will be able to get investment easier, all in all they look like they're on top of it.

They're going to be adding a skill system where doing things frequently is going to not only go towards xp but also your aptitude in it, they didn't add specifics but it would be a little like runescape.
