I have no idea how the decision to make a survival game pay to win was made, but someone thought it was a good idea for this game apparently. The shop has super powerful items. When you go out to collect resources you get absolutely disintegrated by whales with a spending addiction and lose everything you worked for. It's not hard to make money off a game without forcing people to pay. Heres a tip, if people like your game, they will pay. If have to force them to pay its because it's a bad game.
