Yeah, it was a mistake... After they got called on it.
It was absolutely in there on purpose.

Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

It was absolutely in there on purpose.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually a stealthy industry norm.
They asked the streamers for reviews but gave them an advertising contract by mistake!
In a follow-up posted to social media this morning, NetEase went on to "apologize for any unpleasant experiences or doubts caused by the miscommunication of these terms...
lol
I hope the reviewers all made really positive, upbeat videos praising the way they chose to stick to such a proven pay-to-win strategy. The cosmetics and in-game currency that you spend real money to acquire really gives players a way to dispose of their bothersome disposable income. And earning daily login bonuses has never been so streamlined!
I know nothing about this game, but I would bet money this is the formula.
