What you should do is a gacha, but that's probably not the kind of low-hanging fruit you seem to be aiming for.

Gachas are unethical.
I do think some are run unethically, and that steps should be taken by developers to prevent overspending, but I don't necessarily find it as immoral as actual gambling. Customers know they won't gain anything of real monetary value. They're spending on JPEGs, so it's a loss either way.

Nowadays, a lot of gachas offer pity systems, where you're guaranteed to get whatever unit. So, you aren't gambling to get the unit, you're gambling to get a better deal on the unit than whatever the pity is. They usually make up the difference by offering skins for the units, or selling resources.

But straight selling a product is probably a lot simpler, yeah. I'd imagine you need your own merchant account to run something like a gacha, since people would probably try to refund all the time.

Hmm. I guess you could do a hybrid model: a gacha system in a game with nonpurchase-able currency, and sell skins for the characters while offering the characters for straight purchase in the game's store.

Porn is probably easier though.

What's the point of having sex when someone already had sex to make you?

Backed this, but I have a slightly autistic question. Is the Battle Brothel addition on KS also a steam key? The page doesn't specify

I realise I can currently buy BB on steam for roughly the equivalent money. But I would like to see Chad Abelone make it in
