The monetization of "Lost Artifacts: Frozen Queen" has been criticized as a cash grab, with users noting that it is a free mobile app being sold for around $5 on Steam, which they deem unrealistic given its low quality and numerous defects. Reviewers feel that the game is an example of poor asset flip practices and is not worth the price, especially when compared to the abundance of free, higher-quality games available on the platform.
“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 developers 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 of the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
