Dark Pattern Games

This site feels like this it's made by people that misunderstand games and genres and can't stand the concept of live service games which surprise takes money to run.

Saw one where powercreep is considered unhealthy ...if you played a competitive card game without power creep you'd quit because the first meta would be the only meta. Controlled power creep is healthy for game longevity.

I think what they would want to see is the cards all be free. That way powercreep does not make a purchase less valuable, does not make people gamble for cards they want, and not give an advantage to people who want to spend more money to get good cards.

Well, they also list a "pay wall" as a dark pattern. I guess demo giving you a limited game for free is a bad thing now.
