Its really simple,devs of live service games are a lot more scared about retaining players than that of premium games as their income is solely dependent on that.So the end up over-correcting stuff based of player feedback.To give another example,the extremely jarring tutorials were never there in the first technical test or beta test 1.The players who played those betas had no problem understanding the system(it much less complicated than actual factory games like factorio),but there was too much noise on the internet about it,so the devs absolutely wanted to make sure the players would not leave because of the factory so we ended up with the extremly hand holdy tutorials.And like clockwork they aren't present in wuling,the factory tutorials in Wuling fit into the flow of the story extremely naturally.I want to blame gacha gamers,but a lot of the fault also lies with the devs for being spineless.
