A small developer behind the AI-driven driving game Teach My Little Sister How to Drive is spending $1,000 daily to operate its demo, forcing them to take out a bank loan as player numbers surge twentyfold. The game's reliance on AI models like Google Gemini and ChatGPT creates massive token costs that scale with usage, prompting the developer to plan pricing strategies for the paid release while warning the demo may close early if financial pressure mounts.
