    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of games developed with Gamemaker Studio is criticized for being heavily focused on retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs, often featuring poorly written reviews in Russian or broken English. Many of these games appear simultaneously after launch, suggesting a pattern of asset flips and scams aimed at exploiting the Steam marketplace.

    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
    • “Gamemaker Studio is most commonly used to make retro pixel shovelware and cash grabs.”
