Yet we both know, that because this style of laughable laziness and meaningless existence is the majority by way of peoples tendency to be exactly that, lazy; they are the loudest financial voice. In many respects they have destroyed the genre with their own selfishness - whilst claiming that our 'minority' should be ignored. Almost laughable in its irony, considering the 'hurr durr equality' trend they try and argue when it suits them. If anything is tedious its their disingenuous motives. Which really equate to being mentally unable to handle anyone being able to do something they can't. You oft say I am prone to exaggerate; but as you can see - I do so, usually to offset their own. Something which when unchecked, often tends to set the narrative.
I accept that to compromise with what they cite to be 'casual'; some middle ground needs be found. I do however take disagreement as you know by now - the notion that casual = entertained by braindead rubbish. Which isn't anything more than again, agenda driven mental gymnastics. Something's relative worth, is often established by comparative norms. So having things easy - serves no purpose. Except as experience has shown, to create an unnecessary gulf between the tiny fraction of things requiring a brain and those that don't. Which in turn worsens the scenario I believe.
If the game needs be repeatedly dumbed down to account for the bottom tier and skip-pot users; one might begin to question why the early game should even exist anymore. Or how it can be justified to play with so little through so many levels. Presumably a vast amount don't. Seems we have the usual 'the only game is endgame' going on - when the actual bar to most content in terms of skill, is basically just being able to click one button. Not exactly the height of feeling with regard to accomplishment or worth is it.
