The game's theme of 'crime is your greatest tool' and using 'undesirable characters' against competitors promotes unethical behavior and could foster competitive toxicity in multiplayer. While there are no direct monetization risks, the game's focus on sabotage and cutthroat competition might not align with all social-emotional development goals.
