"Power does not give us truly special games like Braid, Binding of Isaac, Alice Madness Returns, or El Shaddai" Enough said. Game Designers, and people in general, are at they best only when faced with some level of difficult.
In the end, "enabling those with less spare time these days to create a respectably geared character without slaying so much as a single demon" = Noob I'm fat up with guys that buy their way out on a online game and claim they're better because of the equipment they use. It's a game killer.
@Zloth2 The main problem is that I live in South America and, sadly, high speed Internet is quite pricey. Some companies are starting to invest on cheaper 10mb + speeds but the cover range is limited to big cities. Hopefully, with OnLive growth, maybe they'll place a local server around my area =D
