The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the prevalence of in-app purchases required to unlock content, which many feel is excessive and frustrating, especially for younger players. While some users appreciate the absence of ads, they suggest that offering ad-based unlocks for limited-time access to features would be a more favorable approach. Overall, players express a desire for a more balanced monetization strategy that allows for free access to more content through ads rather than mandatory payments.
- “There are also no ads, you can change the outfits, the skin color, the hair color, the hair style, the beard style.”
- “But there's no ads so the game dev has to make money somehow!”
- “I love it so much that you should really try it 💙😂 you should I love it, no ads or lags.”
- “I really don't want to give even one star to this game but it is capable of... because this game only has two things open: the cafe and my house. I am really angry because I really want to know other places too but it asks money for everything. It's always in every game if it doesn't have any ads it will surely ask you to pay money.”
- “This game doesn't unlock everything; it's not fun. You even need to pay real money to unlock all the places you like, and there are too many ads. Please fix this and unlock all the places so I will give it five stars.”
- “I would recommend getting Yass Pets: you get everything free; you just have to watch ads for more stuff. In this game, you have to pay; by the way, you don't get stuff free. Don't get this game; you're wasting your time.”
