The monetization aspect of games developed with Gamemaker Studio is criticized for being heavily focused on retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs, often featuring poorly written reviews in Russian or broken English. Many of these games appear simultaneously after launch, suggesting a coordinated effort to exploit the platform through fake reviews and direct purchases, raising concerns about the integrity of the marketplace.
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly 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.”
- “Gamemaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
