Considering the fact that the game devs have only implemented 3 foreign ships, I think that the game will experience at least a couple more years of large popularity, provided they keep adding new maps and new mechanics for us as well. There's plenty of historical naval battles that haven't been added... mayhaps in the future we'll be introduced to an entire Atlantic Campaign (Ooh boy, dem subs will be having a field day) and the various foreign fleets. Once they run out of material to pull from those, they can always pull from the hypothetical and numerous what-ifs (like the A-150 design and Montana class or an actual Amagi class of battlecruisers).

As for funding as ArcticaFrost mentioned, I think the game itself is essentially a money sink for the devs. The various artists and CVs need to be paid for their contributions so profits if there are any from the ingame purchases have to go towards paying them first. I think though, that a lot of their income actually comes from the various sideworks such as the mangas, light novels, artbooks and whatnot (don't quote me on this, all this is also hearsay as well) so I believe the game won't be experiencing financial trouble anytime soon.
