The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players feeling that the abundance of in-app purchases, particularly for cosmetic items and season passes, is excessive and often overpriced.

“The microtransactions are a little pricey, but the season pass seems worth it.”
“In-app purchases are entirely cosmetic.”

“For a paid app costing $5, there's way too much monetization in this game.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating due to the inability to skip lengthy animations, particularly during house removal and bankruptcy processes. The presence of glitches and freezing issues further exacerbates the tedium, especially when managing AI opponents, as selling houses requires watching each animation individually instead of allowing for bulk actions.
“There isn't a way to skip past tedious animations like house removal, bankruptcy, etc., when playing against AIs.”
“It's a pretty good game, but it has so many glitches that it's tedious to play; many times I had to leave the game because it just freezes.”
“Playing against the computer needs several improvements: when the computer needs to sell houses, this is a tedious process; you have to watch the animation for vanishing houses play out one by one, rather than just selling en masse.”
