The game's monetization is widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with its high price and bulk sales to discount bundles undermining genuine indie developers and harming overall market visibility.
- “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.”
