The monetization aspect of games made with Gamemaker Studio is criticized for being dominated by retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs, often featuring poorly translated content and coordinated fake reviews to promote these low-quality titles shortly after their Steam launch.
“Gamemaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
“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.”
