The monetization of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users expressing frustration over its poor initial state and lack of promised improvements. Many feel deceived by the developers, labeling the game as an early access scam and calling for refunds and stricter measures against such practices on platforms like Steam.
“This game was nothing but a cash grab; from the day it was launched, the game was in a horrible state, almost unplayable.”
“After almost a year of promises, this is absolutely unacceptable. Developers like these are the reason why indie games get such a bad rap. These guys are nothing but crooks, and I want a refund for a game I never got to play. I would highly recommend Steam put a permanent ban on these crooks and never allow them to release another cash grab on their platform!”
“A big ol' early access survival scam/cash grab.”
