1. People use adblock, so ads won't cover your spendings.
2. Paying to access PB3 is a game killer because nobody is going to pay to play an unknown 2D game in 2023.
3. Taxing each skin and art sale won't help either because people will use AI to generate their own unique skins and art for free. (Inb4 you say "its not going to match PB2 art style", YES it will, because you can train AI on already existing PB2 art and eventually generated art will look no different from handmade one.)

Time to admit it now.
