And thats fine. But if game designers want to make a challenging game they shouldn't be shamed for not including an easy mode. If someone doesn't play games to be challenged (which again, is fine) then maybe they shouldn't play games that are specifically designed to be challenging.
Simply put if a game designer wants to include difficulty options such as an easy mode, thats fine and I dont care if people play on easy mode as it doesn't affect me. People shouldn't be asking them to remove easy mode (and honestly I never see this happen). But if game designers want to make a game where part of the appeal is how challenging it is and chooses not to include easier modes, then they shouldn't be demanded to make the game easier as it simply just isn't part of their vision of what they want to create.
I think the intention of the developer does make a huge difference to what options they want a player to experience during their... ride.
I think of games a bit like amusement park experiences. And the intentionally hard ones are meant to be like a horror show or extreme roller coaster.
They are meant to scare you and you don't have much escape. That's part of the experience.
