The monetization practices of Cipher Hive/My Way Games have been criticized for exploiting others' work as cheap cash grabs on Steam, with numerous accounts posting fake reviews in broken English or Russian shortly after game launches. Additionally, the pricing strategy for titles like Silent Gentlemen, set at an unrealistic $30, has drawn negative attention, especially when compared to the value of older AAA games available for the same price.
- “Cipher Hive/My Way games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts.”
- “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.”
- “Silent Gentlemen has the completely unrealistic cash grab price of $30 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games.”
