The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a blatant cash grab filled with intrusive microtransactions that create a pay-to-win environment.

- “A quick cash grab that sent the game in a downward spiral; people who play now have nothing else better to do, and that's the sad part.”
- “The game is all about spending money to be relevant. I can say this because I spent $200 one week ago for new gear, and I've used almost all of it on the new gear. It's near impossible for free-to-play players. It's very annoying when I play that there are only 6 players on a server. Andrea has ruined the game and has no plans on fixing it.”
- “Blatant cash grab, complete rip-off of Agar.”
