I also feel like some people, in their justified desire for accessibility and difficulty options, can characterize everyone who sometimes appreciates difficulty in games as a “Git gud!” type who believes games to be some raw test of skill and personal worth.

I loved overcoming the challenge of games like Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden (2004). They wouldn’t have been the unforgettable experiences they were for me if they hadn’t been hard in the specific ways they were hard. Once someone argued w/me that this was super “problematic.” lol.

Yes! I knew a guy who once showed me how he'd hacked The Bard's Tale (which was really difficult and quite a slog in the early going) to make all his characters extremely OP so they could easily slaughter everything in their path!https://twitter.com/theangelremiel/status/1415428429688840194?s=20 …

Can you just imagine people applying this to any other activity? Like, sorry youth soccer players, but if you're not playing at Cristiano Ronaldo difficulty levels you are now legally required to turn in your shin guards and remove the "I <3 Soccer" posters from your wall.

I absolutely love pharaoh on PC and always play on easy/v easy as the combat/military system that ramps up on harder settings is dreadful - something the devs have said they wish they had done a better job with! So it could be argued the easy setting is actually the better game?

And ultimately, people should just play on whatever level they enjoy and makes them happy
