monetization
16 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization strategy for "Dungeon Divers Prologue" has been criticized as misleading, as it functions more as an advertisement for the actual game "Dungeon Divers" rather than a standalone title. Reviewers express frustration over the practice of publishing demos or ads as separate games, arguing it detracts from genuine developers and misleads players, ultimately labeling the experience as unworthy of time and attention.
“This is only free in the same way that adverts on YouTube and banner ads in your browser are.”
“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.”
“Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”
