The monetization strategy of these games is heavily criticized for relying on unethical practices, such as using premade templates and asset flips to create low-quality products that are marketed as original. Reviewers describe this approach as a cash grab, likening it to shovelware that exploits existing assets rather than offering genuine 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 and 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 or alternate accounts.”
