The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the reliance on watching ads for progression. While some players appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the frequency and technical issues associated with these ads—such as freezing and not providing promised rewards—have led to a negative experience. Additionally, the subscription model for ad removal is viewed as excessive, with many players preferring a one-time payment option instead. Overall, the game's monetization approach is perceived as a cash grab, detracting from the enjoyment of the gameplay.
- “Abet all games like this are pay-to-win, this one seems pretty compensative and balanced with the ads. Moreover, no ads, no rewards; that simple. They don't inject an ad into gameplay; rather, all video ads are offered with some compensation relative to the game. These rewards can also be purchased instead of watching the ads if you want to support the developers, the way it should be.”
- “Fun game, no need for in-app purchases to advance.”
- “It's a good tycoon game with no ads.”
- “Unfortunately, after about a week, I started to feel I was watching ads more than actually playing the game.”
- “The game is purposefully slow so you have to watch ads to get the progression to a normal rate.”
- “You will spend far more time watching ads than actually playing this game.”
