The monetization strategy of My Way Games/A Nostru has been criticized for being unethical, as it involves exploiting and repackaging others' work on Steam for profit, which many users view as a blatant cash grab.
“My Way Games has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“The monetization strategy feels exploitative, with constant prompts to spend money on features that should be part of the base game.”
“It's frustrating to see so many paywalls in a game that could have been enjoyable without the aggressive push for microtransactions.”
