The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being exploitative, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping, as well as a lack of proper credit to original creators. Users have noted the presence of suspicious accounts that appear to promote the game through fake reviews, suggesting a coordinated effort to mislead potential buyers. Overall, the monetization approach is viewed as a cash grab rather than a genuine effort to provide quality content.
“The developers didn't credit any of the artists and real game developers who created the assets, so this feels like plagiarism and a cash grab.”
“The reviews are all written in either Russian or broken English, appearing almost simultaneously shortly after the game launched on Steam. They all have a direct purchase of the game and are consistently used to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs.”
