The monetization model of Palace of Cards is criticized as a predatory cash grab, resembling pay-to-play and zero cash-out gambling systems commonly found in mobile apps. Reviewers advise against engaging with such games, highlighting their exploitative nature.
“While Palace of Cards seems like an innocuous card game, it falls under the general remit of mobile app cash grabs that have been dumped on Steam, operating on a pay-to-play/zero cash out gambling system not dissimilar from other mobile/browser-based gambling apps.”
“My advice, as always, is to stay away from greedy, nasty mobile apps that have been dumped on Steam as predatory cash grabs.”
“Nowhere in my review did I say advertising was coming from third parties, so it's unclear why the developer brings that up.”
