A word or succinct phrase for "capable of producing financial income"
I have a bullet point list describing some requirements for a game I will be producing. It is written as follows:
The game will be:
- Requirement 1
- Requirement 2 ...
One of the requirements is "capable of producing financial income", but this is a bit of a mouthful.
At the moment I have the word "monetizable", but that is a bit of a miserable little word. Are there any better suggestions?
Solution 1:
There's nothing wrong with "monetizable". Some dictionaries haven't yet caught up with the now-widespread usage, but it's a perfectly regular extension from...
monetize (verb) To make a business activity profit-generating, particularly in computer and internet-related activities. [emphasis mine]
Noting that highlighted element above, I'd say it's perfect for OP, not "a miserable little word".
Solution 2:
Moneymaker: something that produces or yields much pecuniary profit.
Revenue generator: A revenue generator facilitates revenue generation.
