I feel like a game called Aban Hawkins & the 1,001 Spikes is meant to be super difficult. Also, YAY SHINOBI!!!!! -

I don't think Easy mode in any game is a bad thing--it's there if you want it, nothing more. -

One could argue that the stress and pressure to succeed is diminished, even if you don't use it. With the inclusion of an easy mode, the player knows he can win without heavy mastery of a game. The very pressure of not having an option can add to the experience. -

Hmm. I never thought of it that way. Nonetheless, I think my mind usually just pretends the easy mode was never there in the first place. Like selecting "Hard" as soon as the difficulty comes up is second nature to me, and I never give any more thought to my decision after that. Unless I'm playing one of those annoying fucking games that, upon dying a few times too many during one section, will bring up a reminder that I could change the difficulty in the options menu or something. Now that... THAT is fucking annoying. As long as a game doesn't do that, I'm totally fine with the existence of easier modes, because when I'm playing I'm never giving much thought to them.
