So, the scheme is basically to have you, the publisher, invest some money into marketing the game, to get potential players aware of it, then have them pay a one-time premium to actually play it, if they're interested.
If that's not the business model, then I'm honestly not playing it.
And while I may be outnumbered by children playing Fortnite obsessively, at this stage of life I do have more money than gaming time.
I am okay with the "I made this game for fun and publish it for free/pay what you want because I can't be bothered with monetization" business model too.
