Besides the other games mentioned here, there's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiosity:_What%27s_Inside_the_Cube%3F . Read the completion section to see just how bad it was.

Since nobody has mentioned it yet, the other game that ruined his reputation for me is Godus. He funded it with a kickstarter with the promise it would be a successor to the God-Sim genre like Populous. It turned out to have all of the dark patterns of mobile games (time-gating with micro-transactions), but in a PC game.
