I think that spending 20+ hours just to play a single in-depth game should be done only a few days a year !INDEED, even for people who are already gamers. ๐งโโ๏ธ๐คฏ
I quickly interpreted your phrase "ever so slightly better" as "nevermind the advantages". ๐๐

Indeed, and I can't even imagine devoting so much time to a game now, even ones where I generate usable income.
Well, Linux is still better. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

There also are so many dark patterns in games that players should remember to detect and avoid !INDEED. ๐ฎ๐คฏ
How about Android (the FOSS version) which is a fork of Linux? ๐ค

Yeah, that's a whole other level of why most gaming is not appealing to me.
I very much appreciate the FOSS version of Android. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

Video games that are either free or are paid for only one time for the full version, are for single player only, and don't have random unlockable achievements (such as "Gain 10,000 Gold before the final boss") seem unlikely to have dark patterns. ๐ฎ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ค
I haven't looked at that closely yet, so I'll take your word for it. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Well, that's at least in my own experience as someone who loves playing !INDEED. ๐ฎ๐คฏ๐

Yep, I figured that you were speaking from personal experience. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค

We can also say that Free and Open-Source games are unlikely to have (significant) dark patterns !INDEED. ๐งโโ๏ธ๐
