The monetization aspect of games made with Gamemaker Studio is criticized for being dominated by retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs, often featuring low-quality content and misleading marketing tactics, such as fake reviews and rapid releases following their launch on Steam.
- “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.”
