I might get this just to support that they’re doing this. Been abused by “git gud” bros and their gatekeeping for far too long when it comes to difficulty.

Game is too hard, so I want to beat the game at a more comfortable difficulty level. If I like the game enough, I will then try to beat it at the harder level. Why is this such an abominable concept to those people?

If, for example, the PSN store let you refund a game that you tried for a bit and gave up on I'd be more sympathetic to their argument, but it doesn't. It, in fact, won't let you refund a game you've only partially downloaded.
