Yup. Marginal improvement Or difficulty increase? Nope, its always straight to turbo cheating or nerf everything to make the game less fun instead of marginally more difficult than hardest setting.
Is that really the case? I've seen a few mods that actually try to do balance or challenge fairly well, though Sturgeon's law applies to mods as much as it does internet fiction.
I'd say I really enjoyed a good few mods for Legend of Grimrock 2, especially their rather plug-and-play nature. There were some stinkers, but the ones which were even marginally good made me feel like I was doing the whole game all over again.
They exist, but aren't as popular as the ones that turn you into a god.
It's the reason that From Soft's games don't sell as well as CoD, most normies don't play games for the difficulty.
It's understandable. That statement (which I can believe) reminds me cheating devices like the action replay or gameshark were popular for similar reasons (I remember using Action replay to get illegal pokemon in black and white), though they've been falling by the wayside as consoles have gotten more resilient to such devices. It's a marginal part of the charm of bygone generations, particularly the DS era.
Remember game genie in the early 90s?
The pokemon thing was more because fuck you I'm not buying your game twice and I'm the only person I know that plays Pokémon.
