Monetization in the game is heavily criticized due to frequent, often unskippable, and sometimes intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay and cause frustration among users.

- “Best game of all time, no ads, just gameplay.”
- “No ads!”

- “I would like to spectate after I die instead of mandatory advertisements that prevent me from spectating.”
- “The controllers are super hard to handle, especially to turn around quick, so the response is you die... and soooooo many freaking ads.”
