The monetization strategy of the developers has been criticized for being unethical, as they allegedly engage in plagiarism by using uncredited assets from other creators, leading to accusations of producing low-quality, cash grab games. This pattern of behavior raises concerns about the integrity of their business practices in the gaming industry.
“The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism as well as a cash grab.”
“The labor industry has shown a repeated pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or closely linked/alternate accounts.”
