The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being forced to watch ads after nearly every action, which detracts from the overall enjoyment and makes the game feel more like a cash grab than a fun experience. Additionally, the lack of options to pay for an ad-free experience has led to frustration, with some users stating they would be willing to pay to eliminate ads entirely.
- “I enjoy that there are no ads every minute but dislike purchases.”
- “A good game riddled with aggressive monetization and a gameplay loop that relies too heavily on constantly spending coins.”
- “Fun at first, but you'll soon realize the only goal of the game is to make the player make microtransactions and pay money.”
- “A game that should have been relaxing became a cause of anger because of the never-ending advertising (from 10 minutes on the game we spend 6 or 7 minutes looking at advertising). After years of playing the game, I am on the edge of uninstalling it.”
- “The sheer amount of ads in this game is absolutely inescapable. You will spend more time watching ads than playing and forced interactions with redecorating quests (which have no benefits).”
- “The game itself is fine, but all the ads in here make the gameplay unbearable. I get it, that you need the ads to give the game for free, but seriously, there are a bit too many ads.”
