Each one of those computers is servicing multiple users at a time, let alone over the course of the day. Asking a LLM to make some fairy rhymes probably costs less in electricity than playing a video game for fifteen minutes.

There are lots of emerging markets like Saudi Arabia or China which theoretically have a large untapped base of middle class consumers with disposable income begging for a TTRPG, and then you realize their governments may have laws against depictions of gods or undead or sorcery that would make...

If they're targeting an international audience, there's a lot of reasons why people would not want to travel to America right now.
