Baker calculates rendering Monopoly Go with VEO3 would cost over 100x the game's revenue.
“Monopoly Go is a game where we have the revenue and the hours played and it is to render it using list prices for something like VEO3 is more than two orders of magnitude greater than its revenue. So what is the role for human creativity, man? I don't know.”
Baker provides specific monetization rates: mobile games earn 8-10 cents per hour versus 50 cents for console games.
“From a monetization perspective, your average mobile phone game monetizes, let's call it, 8 to 10¢ an hour. If it's not average, that's a reasonably well monetized game.”
