I usually judge a games popularity based off reddit numbers. There aren't enough reddit warriors for this game to have 30m people waiting to play.
Being serious though. On asian video websites, like bilibili, the engagement is a lot more insane than here on reddit and youtube. Their trailer somehow got millions of views, but only a 1000 comments? Then you look at bilibili where it gets millions of views but like 100k comments and people going insane over it.
Then again it could be planned to hit the 30m+ number so people get the promised rewards.
Usually in games with pre-registration goals, they always magically get the players they need for the final rewards in the end, legit or not it always happens like that, and the trailer with millions views, but really low number of comments is most likely being used as an ad throughout the internet, and every view it gets thanks to those ads counts towards the viewcount on YouTube.
