The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Players express frustration over mandatory ads during map loading and other critical moments, with many requesting options to remove ads through in-app purchases. The frequency and intrusiveness of ads have led to a diminished gaming experience, prompting some users to consider uninstalling the game altogether.
- “Customization and no in-app purchases.”
- “I have tried many bus simulator games and I have to say this is the best. The developers are not hungry to force you to make in-app purchases; you have to work to earn your rewards.”
- “This is an awesome game, no doubt, but there is too much advertising. It would be better with fewer ads and longer maps for driving.”
- “I can understand the devs had to make money from somewhere, but just give us an option to remove ads. Instead, you have to buy different combo packs, and ads are everywhere, even when the map is loading. Ridiculous.”
- “Your popup ads get worse; placing too many ads disturbs the game. I need to uninstall your game application. You need to adapt how to use ads similar to 'Truckers of Europe 3'; their ads do not disturb the player and are not that aggressive.”
- “The game is good, but the problem is too many ads. You cannot access the whole map, and there is no off-road map in the game. If you add mountain roads and single-lane mountain roads, the game will be more interesting.”
