Have you played the game? What about it is predatory? It never forced me to pay for anything and I was able to complete the story without spending a dime.
I'm not stanning anything. Just being part of the, discussion, if you can call it that.
It just sounds like you're judging it solely based on the fact there are a few buzzwords in the game and you're not forming an actual opinion of your own.
There's nothing to discuss based on your viewpoint. It doesn't matter what anyone says about the gameplay being actually OK because you've already formed your opinion it seems. Judging a book by its cover.
You also have a screenshot from proxy manager so any confusion should have been short lived
