I feel at this point a lot of Gen Z isn’t even aware of some of those companies that ruined the MMO market.

As a gen z myself, this isn’t universally true. Some of us were around when Maplestory was big and remember the shit show when they ruined it. Also rip combat arms

Yes, exactly this. I have a 20-something friend I made through online games who was trying so hard to get me to install this, and he had never even heard of Nexon.

The monetization is weird and not cool.

Still, it’s fairly neat and fun to play. It’s like a better Anthem without flying.

You have to buy new character classes with premium currency, and they’re not what I would call “micro” transactions. Technically I guess you could earn them through play, but you’d have to willing to grind a lot.

The grind isn’t all that heavy for characters, you get a second one almost immediately and can get more just by reading where their parts drop. It’s faster than Warframe even

And they do the multiple currencies thing.
