Why do people get upset by OPTIONAL difficult assists?

Sorry but Give me God of War (and even more variety on NG+), Crushing on Uncharted, Merciless on Persona, Grounded on The Last of Us, Special modes on Resident Evil and several other games that had dedication to create a very specific very hard mode show you are talking BS. There is incentive and there are plenty of devs showing that they work on creating and balancing modes for the <1% public. That is because they love what they do.

And from what you and some others have said you don't even play mainstream games so you are just being judgmental to justify a holier-than-thou attitude on "I'm not elitist, but doing this could potentially damage the game I love even if it is just based on my own imagination".

Yeah, somehow I was quite sure you will chime in. I've played Uncharted 1 and 2 and TLOU. Oh dear...I really like Sony for trying to make their offerings so diverse, but oh boy, do I find their heavy hitters being such a mediocre games...

I do actually play some mainstream games from time to time, especially if they are C/W/RPGs. Been doing so for last 30 years. But at this point, it's exactly pandering to masses and publishers race for higher sales that made the genre so diluted that if you want to play proper C/W/RPG you need to go to A/AA studios or indies. Luckily, Cyberpunk seems somewhat of a step back (in a good way) toward old RPGs, that's probaly about only AAA WRPG that could actually be called RPG that is coming out (Outer Worlds as well, though that's more of AA), so at least there are some devs who are somewhat aware of current situation and opportunity that it creates.

No problem you not liking their offers.

So your point about AAA pandering and being destroyed by mainstream is really about RPG genres then? And people have asked for evidence of what changes were made that destroyed these games. And sorry, but giving a label of RPG to HZD doesn't destroy the genre.
