The games employ a lot of scammy dark patterns and rapidly, drastically diminishing returns to convince you to make ten purchases when you could have reasonably expected two would get you a free item. The game rules and terms of service basically amount to "Temu reserves the right to change everything for any reason at any time".

There's also a lot of misguiding listings where there's no option to buy everything in the picture. The products themselves are usually decent, but the way they sell them is absolutely disgusting.

Ah good to know, thanks.

I've hardly noticed the game elements on Temu; the misleading items are annoying but it's nothing you won't see on Amazon, and you can usually get a refund
