monetization

0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
The monetization is widely criticized for relying on copying premade templates and assets, resulting in low-effort, asset-flipped games that are viewed as cash grabs or shovelware rather than genuine, original content.
- “These guys do nothing but copy premade game templates and game tutorials, fill out a few things, stamp out basic levels using the construction kit templates, slap on an asset-flipped set of sprites/assets, and dump them on Steam and into cheap nasty shovelware game bundles as cash grabs.”
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
