The monetization strategy of these games is heavily criticized as exploitative and unethical, with developers accused of producing low-quality, asset-flipped titles that serve primarily as cash grabs. Reviewers highlight a pattern of using pre-made templates and assets to quickly release games on platforms like Steam, often accompanied by fake reviews to mislead potential buyers. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a blatant attempt to profit from others' work without offering any 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.”
- “Diedemor studio games/laush studio have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts.”
