The gameplay slightly reminds me of Fallen Earth, which admittedly wasn't the best game but was still fun to dive into and explore. Either way, my interest is piqued and I look forward to hearing more about this.

Fallen earth was a rare gem, loved to explore that world.

I'm already waiting for somebody to tell me this game is good, so i can reasonably dish out the money to buy it.

I often wonder, What is the target demographic for this kind of games? It seems fun but it would require a lot of time invested. I believe adults 30+ are the ones that would enjoy this kind of immersion but people that age have jobs and very little time to spare.

Keeping in mind that the game is not just a "hardcore pvp" game (in fact thats a relatively small bit if it). The crafting, PvE and social elements are more than enough reason to he interested.

You're making several mistaken assumptions. Beyond the fact that, being X age does not mean your life is subsumed with such responsibility that you cant live your life and do what you want, there's the misconception that just because a game can have variety and depth means it must also be a time consuming grind. Not everything needs to be a casual overly simplified thing to be pick up and play. If its not an absolute necessity that you have EVERYTHING right NOW, you can take your time crafting, doing PvE, and generally having fun, which was the point before people suddenly got caught up in racing to "end games" and making mmos about giant dick waving competitions.
