They're burning $1k in tokens a day for each 400 users, so the marketing budget has been redirected towards token fees.

God forbid this thing becomes a runaway hit. They'll end up working at or behind a Wendy's to let people keep playing the game.

It's the game of this week among bunch of Japanese VTubers with like half a million subscribers each. That happening to a thing often means the thing don't appeal to absolutely nobody ever anywhere else(even in Asia) and infra gets pinned at capacity just to serve Japan until it just abruptly smacks the floor with no chances of recoups ever, like a weed killer that works by forcing growth until the weed kills itself.
