@withinity @davidgerard right?! While not an MMO, I worked on an online game that had 500+ players (spread throughout some 30-ish concurrent matches) during an open beta, and it didn't come close to being our biggest expense.

@Kiloku @davidgerard I believe it. For most games the difference between 1 player and 5000 is measured in pennies not thousands of dollars a day.
This story just wreaks of vibe coding a vibe game by vibe business people. They are mostly lucky they didn't put it up for sale.
