If that's not the business model, then I'm honestly not playing it.

And while I may be outnumbered by children playing Fortnite obsessively, at this stage of life I do have more money than gaming time.

I am okay with the "I made this game for fun and publish it for free/pay what you want because I can't be bothered with monetization" business model too.
