Such games tend to be viewed by gamers as uncreative, and as diverting attention from less popular high-quality titles.

[/quote] Asset flipping is a term applied to the practice of buying or using basic, pre-made/pre-rendered assets in video game development, without changing them or adding original assets around them.

This game was obtained [b]legally[/b] as part of various DIG Bundles: DIG Weekly Bundle 828 DIG Weekly Bundle 598 DIG Weekly Bundle 387 DIG Weekly Bundle 265 DIG Weekly Bundle 190 All unused Steam keys were later revoked/resold [b]without prior warning or notification[/b].
