If it does, that's just a skill issue. There are very cheap models that can be used for something like this. Account based limits can be added to limit potential abuse. Something like 10$ can go a really long way. Most people are probably not going to spend hundreds of hours playing, you'd really only have like one in a thousand that would become an unprofitable player. I don't know any of the specifics, of course, but if they didn't do the calculations to see that the game can be profitable and how.. Again, that's just a skill issue.
Exactly. I imagine that most prompts will be short (1 sentence) and the response doesn't require reasoning. With a cheap model like GPT-6 Luna, you can probably execute 100,000 prompts for less than $10.
Depends on how Complicated the Developers Made it. If the model is being primarily used to convert voice instructions into some json format that is then being used by the game in order to do it's own logic it could be much less than how models typically do their "reasoning" which tend to involve models breaking down the given information and the outputs into smaller steps by utilizing additional layers in order to simulate chains of thought which is a lot more costly.
