  Certainly if the developers of those games have the time and resources to invest into it, they can make an easy mode. Not every studio does though. For games intended to be difficult though, they should be balanced around a difficult normal mode, and that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone can beat it.

  I like when games are difficult. I don’t think every game needs to be so easy every gamer can beat it.

  If you get it, purge and update your cache. It still works.

  That would be a much better comparison if it was artificial intelligence, but these are just reinforcement learning models. They do not get inspired.

  I’m so happy this is becoming more mainstream. Huge props to people like NotJustBikes for such effective propagandizing.

  It is difficult though. Godot has been in development since 2007. It was not FOSS until 2014. It is still way behind Unity and Unreal Engine in many ways, which have been around since 2004 and 1995 respectively.

  You aren’t paying creators, you are paying executives.

  I wish there was a way to support the production, actors, writers, vfx artists, animators, etc. of good shows adequately while getting the piracy experience. This system really just fucking sucks. Even if you pay exorbitant amounts to streaming services, the people that made the art get jack shit.
