The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being exploitative and unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping. Users report that the developers fail to credit original creators, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab, supported by suspiciously coordinated fake reviews from accounts with questionable credibility.
- “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.”
- “Piece of voxel has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts.”
- “They're all written in either Russian, broken English, or AI-generated text, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
