Comment on YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns"

  The vast majority of mobile games are comprised of three mechanics:

  • click X times to get something
  • wait X amount to get something
  • watch an ad to skip having to do the first two

  and repeat.

    Clearly you haven’t played any good mobile games. Or any bad desktop computer games for that matter.

      vast majority

      The handful of good ones aren’t why mobile gaming is worth more than PC gaming.

        Nobody is forcing you to play the bad games. In fact, the website in the OP is made precisely for finding the good ones.
