Sounds like a pretty stupid system to me. You could just turn damage on and off, couldn't you? Does PD ever heard about option for different difficulty settings?
Plus in GT you have to play through ten thousand driving tests before actually going into a real good race, and in the driving tests you'll have failed long before doing anything to damage the car. And if these tests doesn't work as a leaning curve then nothing will.
Should developers go this way and Call of Duties won't come with the option of turning off aim assistance, since you need to be good to play it that way. No option to turn off gambits in FFXII, no manual assignment of points in Mass Effect because you aren't ready yet for it. Better yet! You won't be able to die anymore on hard games unless you beat them, for it could frustrate players!
What surprises me the most is the way fans are actually buying the excuses of this guy without second thoughts. Everything he says or does is deserving of applauses now or what?
