As long as you don’t have to use it, its fine to charge money.
Look at the state of gatcha games. Yeah, sure, you technically -can- access all the content without paying, but in practice it’s not going to happen in a human lifetime. It isn’t that much of a stretch to picture games that are “technically” humanly possible, but so difficult that most people will resort to the AI. Remember the oldschool quarter-eaters in arcades? Same business model but with more steps. I also wouldn’t put it past MS to offer “incentives” in the game store for titles with AI integration. Also see the comment upthread about enshittification.

I notice you don’t bother to address any of my other points, and boldly declare the time for talking to be over. I suspect that’s because you can’t.
