    The monetization practices of certain developers have been criticized as unethical, with accusations of creating low-effort games by repurposing existing templates and assets for quick profit. These games are often released in bulk on platforms like Steam, accompanied by misleading reviews, leading to claims of cash grabs and potential scams targeting unsuspecting gamers.

    • “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and tutorials, fill out a few things, and slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, dumping them on Steam and into daily indie game bundles as cash grabs.”
    • “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and cash grab.”
    • “Runrun, My Way Games, and Dnovel have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
