This post got me thinking about all the times any kind of "easy mode", for lack of a better term, is implemented in a game. EDITL I'm not directing this at you, Nutty, I'm just using you as an example of a counterpoint to myself!

Why is it such a bad thing to have a game be more accessible to others who may not be as skilled? Those who don't want to use it, don't have to use it. It's there as an option that can be ignored, for everyone who doesn't want it. Its existence doesn't invalidate anyone's achievements who completed the game "properly".

I guess I just don't understand this elitism around people enjoying video games. If more people can enjoy them thanks to a little bit extra help, then that can only be a good thing for the medium as a whole.

Anyway, where do you stand on ez modes?
