The monetization of Sunny Hillride has been criticized as a blatant cash grab by developers, with users noting that it feels more like a mobile app hastily ported to Steam rather than a genuine PC game. The simplistic gameplay and lack of depth further contribute to the perception of it being primarily designed for profit rather than player engagement.
“Sunny Hillride is a mobile app that's been dumped on Steam as if it was a real PC game (it's not)... it's a cash grab from greedy mobile devs.”
“Quick cash grab for the devs.”
