The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and forced ads, which disrupt gameplay and make progress nearly impossible without watching them. Players express frustration over the high cost of ad removal, often exceeding $30, and the reliance on ads for rewards, leading to a feeling that the game prioritizes ad revenue over player experience. While some enjoy the game itself, the overwhelming presence of ads significantly detracts from its overall enjoyment.
“$30 for no ads.”
“The sheer volume of ads makes this game unplayable.”
“It's basically impossible to get ahead without watching ads.”
“As much as I enjoy this fun, quirky tycoon game, the amount of forced ads is ridiculous, and definitely not worth paying $42 just to get rid of the ads even though you get the other x2 bonuses with it.”
