Many feel that the reliance on pay-to-win mechanics and the excessive effort required to earn in-game currency leads to a boring experience, prompting some to abandon the game altogether.

Once you unlock areas like the car park, park entrance, and ski lift, you can't generate enough money to upgrade to the next level without spending a fortune.
