Battle/Monthly Pass/Subscription

[tough gazelle]

Why would you pay more stuff for the game you already paid for? That's just dum and will be a massive turn off for a lot of people

Funds from selling the game itself should be enough for development, battle pass itself are originally for free to play games (well until recently at least, blame 3A games) which this is not.
And battlepass won't work well with the wipes system that this game will have because then players lose stuff they paid for in the battlepass.
And don't encourage Gaijin to, WT has a battlepass and it is horrible.

Different genre tho

The cube is MMO RPG not extraction shooter

Also more players will get the game and what not so they'll get money still and what not

And it seems that they do plan to make crystalized active matter buyable later on, so there's that

Gaijin is also an investor in mundfish so the Cube shouldn't effect this game much if at all

But if they do (God forbid) decide to add battlepass it would be more understandable if the unique rewards can still be obtained if you missed it, through more grind or whatever. And not just lose it forever.
Like purchasable CAM to help progress is more understandable than battle pass because 1. You can grind CAM not much but you can grind them by playing daily special missions.
2. It doesn't feed on fomo, some people have jobs or other stuff so they might miss the stuff they want and knowing Gaijin they'll either ask 100$ to unlock it without the grind (istg WT unique vehicle event and battlepass) or people pay other people to grind it for them and it'll create a botting problem to the game. The game already has a botting problem in Nexus for whatever reason ATM already, and BP would probably make it worse.
