This game certainly doesn’t feel exploitative

The one being exploited is the developer. From the article:

> I spent $100 on advertising after publishing the game

Shrug. The developer seems to be enjoying their experience and is not profit motivated (at least as far as the article indicated).
In this case, the developer is an adult seasoned game developer. But if you know Roblox, you know how this is not the case for most developers on that platform.
Ok? It’s still irrelevant
I’d argue that this developer is still being exploited.
Exploited how? He made a game for free, it’s hosted globally for free, and he decided to pay for ads to advertise his game. How in the world is that exploitation of a child or an adult?
How
