Dark pattern games should be fucking illegal.
So many kids are stuck on terrible games that force them to get angry and beg mommy and daddy to buy stuff in a game. My youngest is forever stuck doing this and it drives me nuts.
I try to avoid making it about kids, because adults are just as exploited. The victims these bastards describe as "whales" to be hunted have jobs and houses and everything - and they're spending a whole lot of money on a whole lot of nothing.
Yeah that's fair. I know as an adult I have more control so I avoid those games (now) but once you're in, your locked into that fomo.
But I see it negatively impacting my kids more than anything. Imagine growing up playing those games.. I had Mario and games you bought and owned lol I can't relate to most of the games of today.
