I'd also like to point out, of course games are getting easeir for hardcore gamers. The reason they seem so easy to people who have been playing since the good ole days HAVE BEEN GAMING SINCE THE GOOD OLE DAYs!

WE tend to have far more experience in games then the newer generations, so it's much easier to adapt from game to game.

Not saying that its the only reason, but I think it's something to take into account.
