The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for being a blatant cash grab, with developers accused of using plagiarized assets without proper credit. Users highlight a pattern of unethical practices, including the rapid release of low-quality products and the manipulation of reviews through fake accounts, leading to a perception that the game is not worth its price due to its defects and shortcomings.
“It's important to also note the 'developers' here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
“We have here a basic town asset that was dropped into the VRTK (Virtual Reality Toolkit) package for making simple VR games, then quickly dumped onto Steam as a cash grab.”
“All Alone: VR has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of around $4 USD; it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer.”
