Players express disappointment with the monetization model, which requires purchasing the game or opting for a free trial, rather than allowing continued play through ad viewing.

So disappointed; I really liked this game!”

- “I love your games but I don't have the budget to pay for every last game to continue playing. Can you put this game to watch ads to continue playing? I don't mind watching the ads, please and thank you.”
