The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized, with many players viewing it as a cash grab that prioritizes in-game purchases over gameplay quality. Frequent monthly top-up events and a lack of meaningful updates contribute to the perception that the game is designed primarily to extract money from players, particularly those willing to spend significantly. Overall, the focus on monetization detracts from the nostalgic experience and raises concerns about the game's longevity.
- “Many issues revolve around in-game purchases, and events aren’t designed for international players—more like a copy of the Chinese version.”
- “Despite the strong nostalgia, the game struggles because it heavily focuses on in-game purchases—monthly top-up events overshadow everything else, and updates are infrequent.”
- “I mean, clearly this is just a cash grab that will most likely disappear as soon as the whales stop swiping their credit cards, but they should at the very least have put some effort into it.”
