  1. I find the people stating "there should be no easy mode" are simply gaming elitists. Single player video games are not an exam or test to gauge your abilities, they are a form of entertainment. Sure some people get satisfaction from beating a game on hard - gives them a sense of pride and accomplishment - which is fine and understandable but taking a stance that just because you can do something and feel rewarded by it then everyone else should just be better and meet the same bar is simply a niaive and elitist view. Making a game more accessible to a wider audience is a good thing (particularly for business - the whole don't buy it if its too hard thing is silly) and you'll find this is the view of anyone who cares more about other things in life than whether or not they can finish a certain game. Why should it matter to YOU if someone uses an easy mode or cheats on a single player game - it's their choice and it's up to them what they find rewarding and the journey they want to take. If they enjoyed themselves then thats all that matters - particularly if they paid money for the game / entertainment. To then further insult people who think this way just shows how unempathetic and out of touch you are with people who aren't gaming elitists. Shame cause I had a lot of respect for you before these 'easy mode' / 'sekiro' videos, now I'm torn between whether you're just pandering to what you think is popular opinion of your audience or if you're just one of these gaming elitists. To use an analogy - should standing on top of the himalays and admiring the view be reserved only for expert rock climbers? Does someone who takes a helicopter up there make it any less challenging or diminish the view for the rock climber? You want to go the hard route then great that's impressive but hating on people who want to take the easy route isn't an admirable trait and pretty judgemental.
