monetization

The monetization aspect of "Farmer's Life" has been criticized as it is perceived more as an advertisement than a legitimate game, with a hefty price tag of $20 for what is essentially a demo or promotional content. Reviewers argue that this practice misleads consumers and detracts from genuine game developers, labeling it as harmful to the gaming community. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as exploitative, offering little value to players.
- “We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement.”
- “The objective of this advertisement is to get you to pay a whopping $20 USD to buy the full product... and because it's a joke game that's being advertised, I don't recommend you do that, either.”
- “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.”

Reviews indicate that the grinding aspect of the game is currently lacking, with players expressing frustration over tedious tasks and a lack of engaging farming activities in the demo. While the game has potential for a unique and humorous take on the farming simulator genre, improvements are needed to enhance gameplay and reduce the feeling of monotony. Overall, the demo has not succeeded in capturing players' interest, leaving them uncertain about the full release.
- “Wow, I don't know if the demo is as bad as the game, but I plowed a field which was horrible, then drank a lot of booze and held the left mouse button for 3 minutes. End of demo, didn't do any farming at all. Bad demo, not sure if the game is any better; I hope so.”
- “If they were to improve on some things to make the game less like babysitting the character and focus more on the farming in the 50s, like the game is set.”
- “Promising game that has the potential to be a funnier type of farming simulator than the usual ones, but unfortunately the demo is not really playable.”
