The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to its reliance on microtransactions and a premium subscription model. While some users find the microtransactions to be non-intrusive and beneficial for inventory management, others criticize them as pay-to-win elements that detract from the overall experience. Additionally, the community's strict moderation regarding discussions of other games has further soured the perception of the game's monetization practices.

- “It has microtransactions, it has a premium subscription.”
- “Microtransactions are not in-your-face, they're kind of pay-to-win by selling some convenient stuff that saves a lot of inventory space or reduces the chance of failure on skills.”
