monetization
3 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization practices of the developers have been criticized for being unethical and exploitative, with accusations of plagiarism and cash grabs through the use of uncredited assets. Users report a pattern of low-quality releases and fake reviews, suggesting a strategy focused on quick profits rather than 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.”
“Hade Games/Valkeala Software/VS Revolution have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or closely linked/alternate accounts.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time 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.”
