Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games

  If non-serious people are the reason a game series I love gets worse, then they have affected me. It happened to Monster Hunter, and it’s happening to FromSoft games too.

    Why would have an option for easy mode make it worse for you?

      Because it doesn’t just end with an easy mode. It ends with Monster Hunter Rise and Wilds, and an entire series losing everything that made it unique all so it can keep chasing the lowest common denominator, who always start their erosion of a once-great series with “it’s too hard. :( Why are the devs so mean to the twelve people born without thumbs?!? Also you should totally remove all of the hunting aspects from the game because it’s super unfair to make me use my brain for more than half a second.”

      So I’d rather keep the dwindling number of games I enjoy as they are, and y’all can go play something else, thank you very much.
