The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being a cash grab, with accusations of plagiarism due to the developers' failure to credit the original artists and game creators whose assets were used. This has led to concerns about the ethical implications of the game's financial model.
“The developers didn't credit any of the artists and real game developers who created the assets, which feels like plagiarism and a cash grab.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, prioritizing profit over player experience.”
“It's frustrating to see a game that could be great marred by aggressive monetization tactics.”
