Typically people spend money to play games. How can any game generate net income for players? It's not Wimbledon where fans pay to watch.
I think any income must come from a stream of new players, meaning it's a Ponzi scheme.

Legitimate games of skill, when regulated, will always be able to support this.
Axie Infinity seems to be something else, where everyone can "win" just by playing the game. For example, daily quests provide SLP coin which is minted from thin air; there's no skill or risk involved here. The only way this can be sustained is with a flux of new players.
