Do you think that "games appealing to the masses"

Hello all,

So, many of you are video-game veterans, that played Atari, NES, SNES, PS1 and so on. You all remember that, 20 years ago, games weren't always designed for the average dummy that didn't knew how to play a video-game. Either you conquered the game, or you didn't.

This doesn't mean that older games are more complex - but you can all agree that nowadays, most games aren't designed just for gamers. This is good, because everybody deserves to play games, but in some ways, games were dumbed down in the process, not respecting the intelligence of the average gamer. This means that everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING must be explained, controls must be simplified, and much more.

Do you think that "games appealing to the masses" were a mistake by game developers?

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
