Yeah, it was a mistake… After they got called on it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually a stealthy industry norm.
They asked the streamers for reviews but gave them an advertising contract by mistake!
What was supposed to be possible for streamers to say then? “Well I can’t criticize, so the game must be great. Ehm, is it? Nobody can say.”
I hope the reviewers all made really positive, upbeat videos praising the way they chose to stick to such a proven pay-to-win strategy. The cosmetics and in-game currency that you spend real money to acquire really gives players a way to dispose of their bothersome disposable income. And earning daily login bonuses has never been so streamlined!
I know nothing about this game, but I would bet money this is the formula.
“We’re still learning how to best control the narrative”
