The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism due to the overwhelming presence of ads, which many players feel disrupt gameplay and diminish enjoyment. While there are options for in-app purchases to reduce ads, players report that these do not eliminate them entirely and often lead to frustration, especially when ads interrupt critical moments in the game. Overall, the consensus is that excessive advertising detracts from an otherwise enjoyable gaming experience.
- “I make in-game purchases for other games because their sales have good deals.”
- “Maybe if I had in-app purchases, they'd be more helpful.”
- “It will prompt you sometimes that if you buy something you can be ad-free for 30 days, but buying magic doesn't make it ad-free; it makes it less ads, so you only watch ads when you lose.”
- “They just started a new thing where they put ads right smack-dab in the middle of your game so you lose every game, really disappointed.”
- “Game play has improved greatly, but ads can start at the beginning of a tournament and keep you from playing for the length of the ad; I've lost many times because the other player is partway through the game when you finally get to start.”
