    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of games developed with Gamemaker Studio is criticized for being heavily focused on retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs, often featuring poorly written reviews in Russian or broken English. Many of these games are released simultaneously shortly after their launch on Steam, with accounts frequently used to generate fake reviews, indicating a trend of asset flips and scams.

    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
    • “Gamemaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
