The primary risks in T.E.C. 3001 are related to its highly competitive nature, especially in multiplayer, which could lead to competitive toxicity. The 'hardcore' nature of the game, while a benefit for some, could also lead to frustration for others. The game's design encourages extended play sessions through an 'endless' mode and escalating commitment, which could make it difficult for some players to disengage. While there are no direct monetization risks, the dopamine manipulation elements could encourage excessive play.
