February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amStar trek online has lockboxes and they don't tell you the odds so are they breaking the law.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amBaldur's gate 3 has an option that lets you decide whether you want the die to roll pseudo randomly, meaning that you'll likely never experience several consequtive bad rolls and never get a good roll. If you turn the option off, you're left with a completely random die that will most likely screw you up multiple times.
I personally really like giving the users the option to pick whether they want the "realistic approach" or if they want an experience more tailored in our favour.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amWith email, I just filter those annoying subscriptions to go directly to my spam folder.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amA personal example instantly springs to mind. The way that Azerite Power and Reputation gates are implemented in world of warcraft. Encouraging you to both grind way longer than you'd like and to log in more often than you can else you end up penalized on progression. Missed a day of dailies? Too bad so sad you are now behind until everyone else caps out. Shouldn't have missed that day.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amAnything that asks me for my email address is a dark pattern.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amI think psychopath techniques play a big role in designing dark patterns. If the game's behavior feels like negging or other horrid behavior designed to wear you down, manipulate you, etc, just get the hell out.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amEver try to cancel Sirius XM? Yeah thatβs a dark patternβ¦
ThePikmania
February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amThe most important factor to consider is if the company is benefiting monetarily from the deception. That would be unethical and should be punished
Matthew Smith
February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amThis was what I felt like after signing up for Hello Fresh. Hard to figure out what the supposed deal I was signing up for ended up being. Then tons of emails when I tried to quit and lots of hassel of trying to change a plan rather than quit.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amBlizzard is the Evil King of the Dark Pattern. If they had to remove them from their games, they wouldn't have any games left to sell.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amThe new legendary patreon threw me off more than he should

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amIf you design a product entirely out of dark patterns, you get a social media web site.
Tolinar
February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amOne of the major fulcrums here is the presence or absence of substantial loss – that is, the loss of a substance (money, time, damages)
Designing a game to be as addictive as possible does not directly cause substantial loss.
To be as lucrative as possible, though, does cause a loss of money in the consumer.
If I play along, what happens to me?
If the answer is just "you lose" or "you win", then there's no issue.
If the answer is "You pay us more money" then it's time to take a closer look.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amThe easy and clear cut ones to start would be any prompt to spend money, divulge personal information, share on social media, and installing other apps/programs.
I want those things restricted right now, before figuring out the trickier dark patterns like time/addiction/etc.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amIs anyone aware Extra Credits is coming up on their 10th anniversary?

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amso the bait-and-switch are all those ads for shitty chinese mobile games advertised on youtube that arent even close to the actual game?

Nipple Johnston
February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amI don't want to know exactly how everything works or what is the likelihood for all aspects of the RNG. I just think it's more enjoyable when the gameplay is somewhere between indentured servant and a king taking a evening walk through the garden. If that makes any sense.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amIntro had me thinking about what it's like unsubscribing from an audible membership :p
Doran Martell
February 8, 2022 - 1:13 am'xcuse me but, by that definition even the most basic advertisement at the local food market "You won't find better fish in all of Cyrondill" is a Dark Pattern.
Crylar44
February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amAny nudging away from a desired actions in a interactive system that is not a game is bad practice and a dark pattern. I'm not here for a curated experience, I'm here to achieve a goal, and a design stopping me is bad and should be fined actually.

February 8, 2022 - 1:13 amthe dark side of the patters is a pathway to many games some would consider to be… unnatural
