While I prefer tougher games, I really don't see the issue with games becoming easier. Games back in the day were played because the satisfaction gained from video games was beating them. That was it. That's not the case anymore. It's far more complex now. Now you get satisfaction from uncovering a plot or exploring a location. Things that can sometimes come in contrast with difficult gameplay.
That's why I hate it when games like Sonic try to put so much emphasis on story and why I hate it when games with a focus in plot try to be arcade like in their challenge. They don't make sense together. That's why Mario works so well without a significant plot.
