Games of The Future.

I just got to get up and start moving and never stop until progress succeeds. Life is not about finding myself, I have to create myself.

In the future all video games will require two buttons so as not to alienate casual players.
You will be able to do everything in the game with the two buttons, but experienced players will learn to manipulate those two buttons in interesting ways, but still lose to a casual player mashing them randomly.
Does video game companies not know the difference between casuals and beginners?
When I was young, I got my ass handed to me in Street Fighter 2 because I didn't know the proper button combinations to throw a hadoken while my cousin flung them with ease. It took me several years before I would learn the combination, first mashing the directions randomly before I played street fighter 3 and learning to throw them right. These days I can play street fighter and beat my cousin without breaking a sweat.
When I first played sonic, I didn't know how to get past chemical plant zone without cheating. When I got to aquatic ruins out of luck it was the most triumphant experience of my life. I never seen any of these levels in action so knowing there were worlds beyond chemical plant zone filled my heart with glee.
Its a sad day. Where's the challenge and accomplishment? What ever happened to fighting for aquatic ruins, etc.
Companies only care about sedating and keeping the attention of the casual without allowing the person to accomplish anything. What's the use learning the mechanics when a few gems and button mashing will win a fight every time. Today I've learned there is a difference between a beginner and a casual.
Beginner - Plays the game, loses, learns how to play
Casual - Plays the game, loses, then quits.
What is this world I'm living in now? Reward quitters and alienate people who try? What the hell is wrong with the game industry?
Checkers, Chess - Lots of people play those. But someone who knew how to play either game well would kick your ass. There's no all queen chess or one step king me checkers.
This is depressing. -A-
Rant came about cause of this article.

As a beginner who mostly sucks at fighting games, I do not agree with this at all.
Food for thought. Every hardcore gamer here started as a casual player. So why did you decide to start playing video games?

Kind of sad that we barely see challenging games nowadays
