Decided to make a video addressing the current controversy over easy modes and skip buttons. Kind of an expansion of the tweets I was making last week. Hope you enjoy! Maybe this one will start some debate of its own...

Also, I'm not complaining since your content is always worth watching, but didn't you say in a recent update that you didn't want to address trends? lol

Another great video! "Difficulty isn't some arbitrary counter devs jack up at the end of development to decide who gets excluded. A good game uses it to incentivize digging into the mechanics, learning how to play and get maximum enjoyment and satisfaction out of the work." That right there is exactly what I think a lot of journalists and critics are missing. Some games can arbitrarily be made more difficult by increasing a few numbers, but there are many games that require complex design changes to really change the difficulty.
