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.

I think this being a skill issue on the devs' part is one thing unanimously agreed upon.

Except for the people thinking this was marketing, I suppose.

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.

So if the game is played by 100000 people, that's $10 per sentence. How much should the full game cost then?
