    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of "Citizens: Far Lands" has been criticized for being misleading, as it is essentially an advertisement disguised as a game. Reviewers argue that it takes up valuable space on platforms like Steam, detracting from legitimate game developers, and that it promotes a harmful practice of publishing demos or ads as full games. Overall, the monetization strategy is viewed as exploitative and not worth the time or money of gamers.

    • “If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on YouTube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
    • “It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers; you deserve better than adverts.”
