The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being exploitative, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping, as well as a lack of proper credit to original creators. Users have noted a pattern of suspicious reviews and accounts that appear to promote these cash grab tactics shortly after the game's release on Steam.

- “The reviews are all written in either Russian or broken English, appearing almost simultaneously shortly after the game launched on Steam. They all have a direct Steam purchase of the game and are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs.”
