The difficulty is the experience, home slice. People need to accept that some things just aren't for them.

Why does anyone NEED to be excluded? Many games have demonstrated that accessibility options allow more people to play the game the way they want.

This is something we can start to expect from AAA games.

Do you need others to fail the game, or to belittle them for turning down the difficulty, so that you can feel good about yourself?

Why does anyone NEED to play a videogame? There are plenty of other games out there tailor made for every skill level and abilities.

You're consistently glossing over the point about accessibility. Why shouldn't high budget games make it easier for people with disabilities to play them?

Because accessibility is not feasible in every case without completely changing the game.
