But this said you shouldn't consider elitists gamers that just ask that games be not too short and not mandatorily easy and that helps and easings be optional for those that want them (or need them for lack of time or because they want mainly a relaxing gaming experience) and hard settings available for those that prefer them.


I don't mind constructive criticism of modern gaming, as long as it's not a pile of bu@#$%t - looking at you, Sarkeesian) but I find it hard to sympathize with people who don't consider kids who started gaming on PS2 "real gamers" and cry about the olden days in every place imaginable... Back then, games were for select few individuals, today it's mainstream - wanting back the game mechanics that made games unappealing to the masses is not only unrealistic, it would also be a direct threat to the gaming industry if they get what they want. And claiming that you're a better gamer because you were a gamer since the humble beginning - is elitism
