Looks like someone didn't read anything in this thread.

Your argument is that some games are supposed to be difficult. But has it occurred to you that difficulty is relative? An easy mode can still be challenging, but the right amount of challenging relative to the player.

Of course, but like I said some games are meant to be a certain level of difficulty that the devs chose, it may be easy to you or hard to me.

And why can’t that level of difficulty be relative? Furthermore, what do you imagine the devs gain from making the game inaccessible to many players as opposed to what they’d gain by opening it up to them?

The thing is that adding difficulty options can and will and have ruined game balancing, not only that but gaming is an art form not just a play toy. It's always good to have difficulty options but not every game necessarily needs it or should have it.

And yet multitudes of other games manage to pull it off. Why does games being an art form mean they have to exclude people?https://twitter.com/docsquiddy/status/1112080134071308291?s=21 …

I feel like you’re just going around in circles. You seem unable to give a satisfactory rebuttal to the idea that difficulty can be relative; easy to you is hard to others, and therefore it remains a challenging game, but we trust the player to discern the level they need.

I already agreed with you that difficulty is relative in a previous post.
