He was talking about fighting games, but the idea applies to gaming in general. If you dumb things down, lowering the skill ceiling and removing depth, then people might join, but they'll get bored easily and won't stick around. This applies regardless of whether your game is a fighting game, an MMO, a TTRPG, a platformer, a beat 'em up, or whatever.
