The monetization strategy of these games is heavily criticized as exploitative and unethical, with reviewers labeling them as cash grabs that rely on copying and repackaging existing game templates and assets. This practice is seen as a form of shovelware, where minimal effort is put into creating original content, leading to a perception of the games as scams aimed at profiting from the work of others.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
- “It's typical for this kind of scamware: a barebones basic GameMaker Studio mobile phone game template/asset, taken pretty much wholesale, the name changed, and rushed onto Steam Direct as a cash grab for game bundles.”
