monetization
4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization aspect of these games is heavily criticized for being exploitative, with developers accused of creating low-quality, asset-flipped titles as cash grabs. Many reviews highlight the prevalence of unethical practices, such as using premade templates and writing fake reviews to promote these shovelware games, which undermines the integrity of the platform. Overall, the monetization strategy is seen as a scam that prioritizes profit over quality and originality.
“These guys 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 cheap, nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
“Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam and cash grab.”
“It's pure trash. While the intent of the construction kit was to make small games to pass around with friends and to teach some aspects of game making, unethical developers will dump the games on Steam as cash grabs.”
