But what would those easy modes be hurting? How does it affect any of us and our enjoyment? Is the availability of an easy mode just too tempting for the average gamer?

It's like everyone has forgotten that they're playing video games. None of it matters. It's just a personal stimulation of the senses. Everyone gets something different out of it.

It doesn't really impact me at all and I don't really care that much about people wanting an easy mode (I'm more "against" it in the abstract than in practice, I don't actually have a problem with people saying souls games should have a pause button). But I do think that you're being a little reductionist towards game design/development. You can reduce it to "we're just getting stimulation to our senses" but if you're creating the game, it's more than just a skinner box with flashy lights.

It also doesn't hurt me when people watch movies at 1.5x speed while scrolling through Twitter, but I don't want to hear that person's opinion about how good the movie is.
