Wanna buy a bridge?

When was the last time you heard Sweeney admit they target dark patterns at children?

Not that it's an excuse, but industry darling Gabe Newell has engaged in similar dark patterns since well before Fortnite[1]. Yet, for some reason, there's not a lot of "fuck Newell" people out there.

To be frank, I think this is an issue people only opportunistically care about.
