The monetization strategy of Visualtech48/volens nolens games has been heavily criticized for relying on unethical practices, such as repackaging premade game templates and assets into low-quality products that are marketed as original games. This approach is seen as a blatant cash grab, with many reviewers labeling their offerings as shovelware and questioning the legitimacy of their business model.
“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.”
“Visualtech48/Volens Nolens games 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.”
