The monetization approach is criticized for misleadingly presenting a demo or advertisement as a full game, which takes up valuable marketing space and undermines fair competition. This practice is seen as harmful both to developers who follow proper guidelines and to gamers, making it difficult to recommend.
“Publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
“This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game.”
“Often developers choose to incorrectly publish demos/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”
