The monetization practices of Tero Lunkka/Valkeala Software have been heavily criticized for being exploitative and unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and cash grabs through the use of uncredited assets from other developers. Reviewers highlight a pattern of creating low-quality games that rely on misleading marketing and fake reviews, suggesting a focus on profit over genuine game development.
“The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
“Tero Lunkka/Valkeala Software 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/alternate accounts.”
“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.”
