The game's monetization strategy has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with a high price point of $13 and bulk sales to discount bundle sellers undermining its value. This approach not only raises concerns about the game's quality but also negatively impacts the visibility of legitimate indie developers on platforms like Steam.
“The game was published by a known asset flipper, and the crazy $13 price tag and the way it was sold off in bulk to cheap bundle sellers at launch makes this an apparent cash grab.”
“They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam.”
