    The in-game shop is our attempt at being realistic with the business of running an online game but trying to find a way to do it without resorting to random loot boxes and FOMO items.

    This is such a useless article, no details at all with what they are selling in the shop, no analysis on its effect on the game, just a quote from the developer.
