The monetization model of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, who express frustration over the presence of ads and microtransactions despite having paid for the app. Many players feel misled, expecting a premium experience free from interruptions, only to encounter frequent ads and additional in-app purchases that detract from gameplay. Overall, the sentiment is that the monetization strategy feels exploitative, undermining the value of the initial purchase.
