It's so evident there's no need for discussion why on earth did a fella create such a topic discussing something so self evident, centered around an 11 year old ? there's no need for the 11 year old in this matter, it's an obvious matter, yet we are talking about prepubescents and mature content ! |
In the first place, that's not the point of the topic. THe point of the topic as I understand it is the counterintuitive dichotomy where "core" games are easier than "kiddy" games like Mario, not the general trend toward games being easier. Lewis never brought that up; you did.
Secondly, he brings up his daughter's experience firstly as a way to frame the issue and secondly because using personal experience to frame a topic in a way that people can understan makes it more easily relatable for the people involved. It recalls people's own experiences of gaming when young (like mine) and it allows for a common connection between people who have those shared experiences.
