Why don't people like hard games anymore?

[ICStats]

I used to like hard games when I was a kid, because I had time to play them over & over and memorize every move.

Now I'm old(er) and get easily frustrated if a game seems harder than is necessary and tastes have changed after playing other games.

For example the original SMB was awesome. Now they made SMBU trying to emulate the classic gameplay, and I can't stand it at all. It feels dated and frustrating; I don't know how many times I've fallen because the controls are sloppy and don't register button presses sharply like their modern counterparts like SM3DW.
