The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many reviewers labeling it a "cash grab" due to the heavy reliance on microtransactions and minimal improvements over previous iterations. Customization options are largely locked behind paywalls, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes profit over player experience.
