The monetization of "Lost Artifacts: Frozen Queen" has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users noting that it is a free mobile app being sold on Steam for around $5 USD, which is deemed unrealistic given its quality and the availability of superior free games. Reviewers label it as a product of "shovelware" from developers looking to exploit the market rather than provide a genuine gaming experience.
- “Lost Artifacts: Frozen Queen is a free mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as a paid product, as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs and Russian asset flip copy-paste shovelware game pushers at 8Floor.”
- “Lost Artifacts: Frozen Queen has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of around $5 USD. It's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
