The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for heavily relying on updates and additional downloadable content (DLC), which some players view as excessive and exploitative. A particular DLC designed to eliminate clicking has been labeled a blatant cash grab, leading to a negative overall impression of the game's value.
“The monetization scheme is well-balanced, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
“I appreciate that the game offers cosmetic items for purchase, but they don't affect gameplay, keeping the experience fair for everyone.”
“The developers have done a great job with monetization; it feels optional and not intrusive, enhancing rather than detracting from the game.”
“The updates and additional item DLCs clearly reveal the monetization scheme; it feels like they can never have enough.”
“They released a DLC that eliminates the need to click anymore, which feels like a blatant cash grab. 10/10 for the scheme, but the game itself is 0/10.”
