I think that's why roguelight games are so popular. You need to strategize the weapons you get, and build up based on the randomness. The base characters are all playable, but the strategy at building them up is important.
I guess the game creators either go power creep or strategy creep. Either the high school kids end up owning the world and destroying God, or they strategically defeat the somewhat godlike boss at the end of the game.
Real life seems to have power creep. My Toyota Camry is way more powerful than a 60's Mustang. Back in the day 250 horse power was more than enough. Now we have cars doing 2,800. 5 Gigs on a computer would fill a room. Now it would be a dead potato if you tried modern gaming with it. Even mini switchers which have been around forever have gone from the compiler getting rid of notes because that is too much for them to our modern era with various fruit named devices that can easily emulate an early 00's computer. The switch has upgraded ports from all the previous consoles, and it's a handheld. Because of protein intake being easier in our modern times cultures around the world are taller. I've seen the remains of battles from centuries ago and it looked like children had swords.
