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.”
