Loves his juicy stink trail scent
In many years past we recall that games had to be changed in the west because they were deemed too hard on the standard difficulties Japanese players would play on.
In recent years we've seen the explosion of souls like games, especially fromsoft offering, that give us difficult titles without difficulty options, meant to be for players seeking challenge.
But what if I told you that today's "normal" mode in most games is actually just that bitch made easy mode? All devs have done is label it as normal to create the illusion you're not playing games on neutered baby modes.
Here's some proof for this claim as Khazan game devs are actually doing that in an upcoming update:
"Big changes are coming to the difficulty system.
The current "Easy" difficulty will be renamed to "Normal," and "Normal" will become the default setting when starting a new game. The current "Normal" difficulty will be renamed to "Challenge."

Take into account games like Lies of P adding difficulty setting options, nerfing bosses within days after release of their DLC, etc and you see why a dev like fromsoft actually respects players as not morons. Or at least accepts the players who complete their games are a slightly less retarded breed.
Am I a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist? I think many devs, especially western, create easy modes then label it as normal to soothe your pussy egos.
