Only a completely blind person could not see that the same can be written about many others over here - including you.
You're not (in position to do this, your position only gives you the ability to punish people breaking the rules, and I'm not breaking it unlike some others over here) and I'm not (embarrasing myself, since I have my own opinion based on arguments I was able to present. You don't have to agree with them and words like "embarrasment" etc. are merely personal opinions, not facts). So word against the word. And scroll back a bit and you'll see that I wrote I consider this topic closed and won't respond until provoked by direct quotes, since then I'm merely responding to insults or accusations so I'm not sure I'm the one who's "stirring".
I don't know, but you're probably right. Equally horrible as reading petty, failed insults.
Short note - "stupid cretin" is actually a pleonasm, a fault of style.
Of course they could be added. Devs are adding cheat codes after all for people to use and if not - there are often trainers made by other people. So - one way or another - sooner or later - they will be available. I've never denied that.
Pride may come from overcoming the obstacles but it's not really about that. It's more about getting a grip on yourself. No matter how bad the economic situation is in all the games I play - I'd never use a money cheat. I noticed many times before that after using cheats I immediately lose interest in continuing and usually start a new game. To have the options to cheat or lower the difficulty is one thing - to use it - another. Some may say they have to use it, because... (and here's a list of arguments). The real question is - do they really have to use it, or do they just try to find excuses to avoid putting more effort? In short - maybe instead of demanding the game to be easier - try a bit harder at first? As I've said - I do not complain about the game options, but about specific mentality and attitude. It's not the "git gud or die". It's more "ok, it seems it's hard for you, but don't quit so early and please try a bit harder because I believe you most probably would do fine if you tried a bit harder". Don't you think it's actually a good advice?
And when it comes to old age and reflexes - a quote from another thread:
It's not that absolutely all older people with slower reflexes can't enjoy the game so they HAVE TO use the auto-block. It's not an argument and it never was.
There are old players who have no problems with new blocking.
There are old players who had problems with new blocking and were able to overcome them and play happily since then.
And there are old players who have problems and can't or don't want to overcome them.
And if I had to choose I'd say that probably more of them simply don't want to do it and instead they demand an easier route to the same goal all others achieved. Again - it's just a personal opinion.
