On the scale of how large games are, a couple gigs for a decent LLM don't really match up to the cost of high-resolution images, music, and 3d models... at least, not if you expect it to be able to run in real time for the average user who doesn't have a super high-powered PC.

It would probably work best for something always-online with a subscription fee that can help cover the ongoing costs of tokens. MMO-style, host your own models and serve them to the player, so you're not bottlenecked by their computer's power

A couple of gigs of ram, sure. But to have any sort of decent performance, that’s VRAM, and there’s precious little of that in most players setups.
