    that's irrelevant. is the game good? yes — keep playing. no — uninstall. the only time I pay attention to what 'urges' go through a dev's head is when they try to push their political agenda on me.

    I don't know, many people would say Death Stranding is "good" it's got a (supposedly) great story, a huge world map, graphics up the wazoo , but on the other hand, it's a 100 hour rag doll simulator (which is objectively bad to any player's health).
    If I wanted to get rid of the sadistic ragdoll just to enjoy the other parts, would that be so bad?

    it's too easy to make a mistake when picking the 'right' difficulty, because you have to know what's coming. I think it's better to have one properly balanced difficulty that gives the players the experience intended by the developer. this doesn't mean that every player is going to have the same experience, but we all know what happens when the devs try to make their game appealing to everybody.

    What if playing the game shows you the dev is a sadist, should you really roll over and fulfill his sadistic urges just for bragging rights?

    And if it is an even worse experience because they don't allow you to choose your own difficulty level, then not only will it not be fun the first time, you won't EVER go back for a second time. If you can cheat your way through areas that you don't want to spend hours wasted on, then that may allow you to enjoy it enough that you might feel like sinking that time in later. (that never happens if you can't skip it)

    But nowadays most games don't come with built in cheats, you have to pay for a separate trainer from some shady online business to be able to cheat and hope (or run on a VM) that it isn't chock (chalk?) full of malware. 😭
    (Thank Space Celeste had built it cheats or I'd never would have been able to finish it, contrast it with The Messanger which was just too fast for me , so I quickly gave up on even though the story looked very compelling)
