Unless I’m mistaken, this game should basically be Conan Exiles but Dune (hopefully with improvements over Conan Exiles).
If this is indeed correct, then it should be possible to play the game offline single player, or set up your own server to play with your friends.
So long as the checkmark isn’t bought through some subscription service, I’m fine with this.
The whole reason why verification exists is because other will steal the name of someone famous and masquerade as them, with real world consequences. A verification system now means that certain platforms and people will get more attracted to be there, and thus Bluesky will grow.
