The monetization strategy for this game has been criticized for misleadingly presenting a demo as a full game, which detracts from genuine titles and misleads consumers. This practice not only confuses players but also undermines the integrity of the platform by allowing developers to bypass proper marketing fees. Overall, the approach is seen as harmful to both gamers and the gaming community.
- “It's an advertisement/demo for the full game (of which the developer only made one chapter), which you are expected to buy through DLC/elsewhere on the store.”
- “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful.”
- “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behavior and it's not good for gamers.”
