I’m not a gamer, but this caught my eye.
Igniq.com : Are games getting easier? (h/t Slashdot)
I experienced the satisfaction of finishing part of several games, e.g. Pac-Man, Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, and those took some serious investment, rolls and rolls of quarter.
The reasons why games are trending toward easy seem pretty obvious to me, i.e. producers want you to sell you more games, sooner, attention spans are shorter, there are too many other distractions competing for time, etc.
So, is gaming going the way of everything else so we can do more?
