The monetization strategy employed by Atomic Fabrik, led by Cristian Manolachi, has been criticized for unethical practices, including the rapid release of low-quality games that appear to be asset flips and cash grabs. These games often feature poor localization and are accompanied by fake reviews, suggesting a deliberate attempt to exploit the Steam platform for profit.
- “Atomic Fabrik/Christian Manolachi has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
- “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.”
