monetization
10 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeUsers find the monetization frustrating, as advertising costs are high and offer minimal returns, often barely covering their own expense. Technical glitches further hinder the effectiveness of purchased ads, leading many to forgo advertising altogether. Overall, players feel the game's monetization prioritizes profit over player experience.
“The main difference is this is the first time I ever had to buy ads before I even opened.”
“I'm making anywhere from 155-175 per day with no advertising and only marginally more with advertising, which is barely enough to cover advertising but not enough to purchase advertising plus one box of books.”
“Also, on the advertising itself - I've purchased advertising twice now between midnight and 3 AM, and the money is spent but the 'already activated' indication on the advertising doesn't apply.”
