The monetization approach is heavily criticized as exploitative, with accusations of repeatedly reselling asset-flipped, template-based games at low prices as cash grabs. Users view the practice as unethical, misleading, and offering poor value compared to numerous free, higher-quality alternatives available on Steam.
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates, assets... at best, this is shovelware, at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
- “Dangerous level has the cash grab price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer and the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.”
- “These guys (or just one guy flipping accounts to mislead gamers) do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things/stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into DailyIndieGame bundles as cash grabs.”
