monetization8 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, with reviewers highlighting the developers' history of producing low-effort asset flips and using fake accounts to generate misleading reviews. The game's low price point and immediate bundling into discount packages further reinforce the perception that it lacks genuine quality or innovation. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as exploitative, prioritizing profit over the creation of a worthwhile gaming experience.
“It feels like a cash grab attempt with no real desire to make a good game.”
“The status of this thing as nothing but an asset/template flip/cash grab is cemented by the developers' prior history of asset flip/construction kit copy+paste jobs, the fake/compromised Steam accounts they used to write fake reviews (all with the same broken English), the laughable $10 price tag for this garbage, and the way they dumped it into daily indie game bundles immediately at launch.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
