The monetization of the reviewed games varies significantly; one is praised for being a high-quality, free brick breaker game without ads, while another is criticized as a poorly executed cash grab that exploits a game template for profit.
“Arcadium is a 'template flip', that is to say, it's a 'game' that has been produced by copying a game template from GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional 'product' on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“This is nothing but a lazy, greedy cash grab and should be avoided.”
