    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with a high price point of $13 and bulk sales to discount bundle sellers at launch. This approach is seen as detrimental to genuine indie developers, as it diminishes their visibility on platforms like Steam.

    • “They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam.”
