It's not clear to me how these are dark. You aren't being tricked, and all of these traits might be in the game client itself as well (game could phone home, auto update, fail to auto update, be slow, etc)

Maybe not this game but it always ends that way.

Example: EA Origins. Atrocious launcher.

No one can seem to answer why does the game need a launcher?
