While I like games that have multiple difficulties to make them more accessible this is an unrealistic expectation. Difficulty settings can add a lot of extra development time. Its not always as easy as just adding a slider in the menu. There is a lot of Q&A that needs to go on behind the scenes. I do appreciate the games that put in the effort to flesh out a good difficulty system. Single difficulty games also have a rough balancing act as now matter what they do there will be people that say its to easy or too hard.

    In what way is any of what I said unrealistic? Its already been done. Many games have much higher standards than just one difficulty.

    Difficulty settings can add a lot of extra development time.

    Nonsense. This is one of the things that modders change most easily. Many of the things I want in difficulty settings are as simple as flipping a boolean.

    I'm not saying difficulty settings that are robust are nothing, but you're pretending they take up way more effort than they do.
