The monetization practices of Cristian Manolachi/Atomic Fabrik have been criticized for exploiting other developers' work through unethical asset flips and cash grabs on Steam, often accompanied by misleading reviews. Users highlight the low pricing of games like "Conflictcraft 2 - Game of the Year Edition" as unrealistic given the product's defects, further emphasizing the developers' questionable ethics in their monetization strategies.
“Cristian Manolachi/Atomic Fabrik have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very 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.”
“Conflictcraft 2 - Game of the Year Edition has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of around $4 USD; it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer.”
