>pushing towards accessibility over instilling an innate desire in players to improve
Yeah; it's called the PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE, and just as electron flow, people will always gravitate towards what's "easier" -- be that gameplay, game design, money-making, or whatever.
Today, that pursuit of "easier" has become a rollicking race to the bottom: Ushered in by the lowering of the First World's ramparts to the Third World (a. k. a., "globalism"); and it will conclude in the dissolution of all human creativity which once resulted the things that once made living "worth it".
