[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "Pixel Puzzles World War II Jigsaw Puzzles" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] This is basically a bunch of WW2 themed images the developer stole (presumably, don't see any proof of purchase, do you?) off the internet, dumped onto a basic jigsaw puzzle game template. The developer is charging outrageous sums of money for other people's stock photos. Why is this permitted on Steam? Either way... make sure you know what this is... a cash grab. So, "Pixel Puzzles World War II Jigsaw Puzzles" is partially or completely made up of stock photo assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". Yeah, usually we think of asset flips as a collection of 3D assets plagiarised from an asset store, but doing the same thing with stock photos delivers the same result to gamers... creatively bankrupt garbage with no real value. Sure, it's a strong accusation to make because asset flipping is a serious crime against gamers, so here's some proof. You can see right on the sales page that the "developer" of this asset flip ripped off the [url=https://pixabay.com/photos/fighter-military-aircraft-aviation-3695444/]Fighter Military Aircraft Aviation[/url] photograph from the IP holder, "PilotBrent" on Pixabay, and is trying to get YOUR money for his work. Appalling, isn't it? While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "Pixel Puzzles World War II Jigsaw Puzzles", and this kind of asset flipping never results in games that have quality or value for PC gamers. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. You're expected to pay up FOURTY SEVEN UNITED STATES DOLLARS to unlock all the ripped off stock images the developer is plagiarising, through DLC purchases. The game should not be considered completely unlocked until you empty your wallet for the developer. This is misleading and predatory pricing on a product falsely marketed as "free". In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 12 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. It's good to see gamers despise asset flippers like this and avoid the garbage cash grabs they make. Since free games don't contribute to your game collector badge and other profile stuff, is this a worthwhile addition to your Steam library? Nope. There's no up front cost here, but I still feel like I got ripped off almost as much as the people whose images were used to make this asset flip.
