The monetization in the game is heavily criticized, particularly for its reliance on microtransactions for progression after the early game, with many players feeling pressured to spend money to keep up.

Yet, peer pressure builds up over time, leading to the temptation to spend on a perpetual black hole - the gift that keeps on taking and never quite delivering the dopamine hit.”
