And that’s just the demo! Imagine the losses they can achieve with the full game! To the moon!

The demo is free and the full game is paid.

So presumably the price of the game would offset the losses.

This seems like calculated advertising more than anything

A static price will hardly offset a running bill based on daily usage, unless the price is so high nobody would be willing to pay it in the first place.

I wouldn't be shocked if they use the money from the game to buy hardware to run the llm in house. The electric and cost would be higher than average if you're running top of the line hardware, but would pretty dramatically reduce cost versus using an AI service
