YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream
YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream
While it is no secret that exploitative practices are interlaced with capitalistic tendencies, the practices are becoming intolerable. Signing up to pay usually takes only two clicks that are prominently visible whereas cancelation options are hidden away in deep settings requiring multiple clicks. Pricing often feel arbitrary with no reference points. Every large company grows with the intention of exhibiting monopolistic behavior. This is not sustainable and should not be tolerated.

Skipping a month of Humble Choice is an exercise in gotchas. Sometimes the blue button, sometimes not, about 5 confirmation screens to skip through.
I don't know why I'm still subbed in all honestly.
It took me a long time to cancel but I finally did because I'd been skipping for every month over the course of maybe two years. I had found out that the classic plan doesn't even have an advantage anymore, so there was no point in me maintaining that.
I should do the same, tbh.
Most of the higher profile games either get given away on Epic a few months later, or are already included in PSPlus.
Barely have time to play them anyway.
Same here.
Luckily the payment method I had used has expired so every month they remind me to skip the month if I missed doing it. They call it something different but I know what they really mean ʘ‿ʘ
Sounds like you're just terrible at gotchas
