The monetization strategy of this game has been criticized as misleading, with users describing it as an advertisement rather than a legitimate game. The high price point for what is essentially a promotional product has led to frustration, as it occupies space that could be better utilized by actual game developers. Overall, the approach is seen as harmful to gamers, who are encouraged to seek out genuine content instead of poorly disguised advertisements.
- “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.”
