Yes but you are talking about current state of game not game you can create with marketing and stuff like that for 200 000 real $.

You can simply create 2nd server with JWL as premium currency on 2nd server you can hire GM to provide support and events JWL high quality tournaments
ther  is plenty way to work arround you have real 200 000 $ to make some it is doable ^^

Noone espect that main game currency will be JWL it is no sence but premium one why no ?
Premium skin drop tradable with JWL why not. Not p2w but supporting server.

While JWL not investment:
"
Project Rebirth will be an entirely new game built from ground up which makes it evidently clear that "Pro4never" will need to assemble a team of skilled individuals to create this new game from scratch. While Project Rebirth may be similar in style of game to Apex, it is a completely new game built from ground up and is not a content expansion like “Heroes” is to “Apex” meaning that everything needs to be rewritten. Pro4Never has already shown expertise in the field of game creation and marketing hence Project Rebirth was an inevitable goal.
"

today you don't need force JWL in game but later will be i am not pissed off i can wait
look at that :
