Important notice: Crime Simulator Prologue will be changed to Crime Simulator: Playgrounds and will be changed from free to paid ($4.99). As many players still play the prologue I have to pay server costs from my own pocket. I would appreciate your understanding.

Wouldn't be free if it would use steam's multiplayer system? (if so, why not use that?)

I just don't understand it. Not really my thing anyways.

So it took like 6 months to release map 2 and now they're going Pay to Play, so I'm guessing in another 5 years or so this game with have like 12 maps? Nice, remind me in 5 years.

Many reviews report it to be a crypto farmer.

I never even considered Steam "games" would do that but then I don't play or buy trashware.
Wow. I can see why they would "give it away for free before making it a paid game" to make sure as many people as possible think it's a great bargain and download it.

It's just bad programming imo, it wouldn't pass on steam for long as a crypto farmer, even if it got on their servers they wont take kindly to it. It would've already been gone. But it just means the dev made a mistake and the game is using as many resources as possible or there's a mem leak/no trash collector.

Not the first time I see this, it happened a lot with people who were posting those item drop games.
