The monetization strategy of dnovel/my way games has been heavily criticized as a cash grab, characterized by the use of asset flips and unethical practices, including the rapid release of low-quality games at inflated prices. Users have noted a pattern of these games being bundled in cheap deals shortly after launch, further emphasizing their perception of the developer's focus on profit over quality. Overall, the monetization approach is viewed as exploitative and deceptive.
“The developer, Dnovel/My Way Games, took a template from the godawful Cocos2D, slapped a couple of asset-flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
“Dnovel/My Way Games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap daily indie game shovelware bundles very shortly after launch and carries a ridiculous $12 USD price tag... definitely a scam.”
