One of the big issues with the Easy Mode Discourse is that it's basically arguing that a video game is something that just happens to you instead of you interacting with the systems and like growing your skills and getting better. Like obviously not everybody has the same level of skill but that has little bearing on the game itself tbh

Look
If you had
One shot
Or one opportunity
To shift every goalpost you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you gatekeep it
Or just let it slip?
