The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with low-quality assets and minimal effort put into development, leading to a price point of $11 USD that many feel is unjustified.

Overall, the monetization approach is seen as exploitative and detrimental to the gaming community.
- “They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately 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.”
- “This time they took the 'realistic car controller' driving engine from the actual developers, Bonecracker Games, and slapped a couple of lazy bus assets and a shonky, laughably poor quality low poly map under it, and dumped it on Steam for the cash grab price of $11 USD.”
