It is a prickly query. Non-compulsory issues are non-obligatory, and gamers can select the buttons they press. Nonetheless, we builders have a duty to design a recreation that’s partaking and enjoyable for the participant. A part of that duty is offering a problem curve that permits our gamers to remain inside circulate band and never get pushed into anxiousness or boredom. Managing participant energy and out there choices is a part of this – too many choices can really feel overwhelming, an excessive amount of energy can get boring, and too few of both may be irritating.
The acute instance of this might be implementing a literal “I win” button into the sport. Gamers might select whether or not or to not push the button to win at any time when they needed. Those that do would possible not have a lot enjoyable enjoying the sport. Can we fault gamers for “ruining” their very own enjoyable with such a function? The duty extra possible resides with the builders for implementing it.
I imagine that almost all of duty for a enjoyable and interesting recreation belongs to the builders, however it’s as much as gamers to seek out their very own enjoyable throughout the confines supplied by the sport. It ought to be simple to have enjoyable with a recreation and harder to seek out frustration. That’s what a superb consumer expertise ought to be. That’s our duty as devs to construct for gamers. It’s the gamers’ duty to determine whether or not they suppose they are going to personally have enjoyable with the sport as supplied. Not each recreation is for each participant.
