- “The game is very expensive for the price; the gameplay and graphics are on the same level as a poorly made phone app.”

The monetization strategy of these developers is heavily criticized for relying on unethical practices, such as repackaging premade game templates and assets into low-quality products that are marketed as original games. This approach is seen as a cash grab, with accusations of using shell accounts to obscure their activities and exploit the Steam platform for profit.

- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and cash grab.”
- “Big Black Bear, The Storytelling Studio, ThinkofGames, and ImperiumGame have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked or alternate accounts.”
