    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of these games is heavily criticized as exploitative and deceptive, with developers accused of producing low-quality, asset-flipped titles that serve primarily as cash grabs. Users highlight the prevalence of misleading reviews and the unethical practices surrounding the rapid release of these games, which are often priced at around $4 USD but deemed unworthy compared to free, higher-quality alternatives available on Steam.

    • “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”

    • “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and tutorials, fill out a few things using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into daily indie game bundles as cash grabs.”
