Why can't video games be easy?

If you gave me a Winnie the Pooh game and said "Beat this game." I bet I couldn't. That's how hard in my mind video games are. So why do I enjoy getting so angry playing them? That's a question I just thought up. And I think I know the answer: Give up. To just say "Game Over," sell my impossible to beat games and just keep the ones I made because I make easy games. Not IMPOSSIBLE CRAP that nobody, not even the motherf***ers who programmed it, can beat. I mean seriously, I know it's supposed to be a challenge, but you make it too challenging, it becomes the point where you give me five hundred million years and all that time is spent trying to beat it, and I still couldn't. That is not "fun." Swearing and yelling at games is not fun. I am not going to get another video game system because the games have gotten too difficult and impossible. Take my Lowercase I game. I can beat it. It's fun, EASY and POSSIBLE. Now if Magnavox made the same game I'm making, they would have made it IMPOSSIBLE to beat. Because I didn't make it. Or is it so hard because my reflexes suck? I'm only 33, but I play games like I'm 83? Video games used to be fun and not hard, but I guess I aged horribly. And mom just made me hot. I wasn't before, but she just said "Aren't you hot?" And that made me hot. Perhaps I've been sucking so bad at that dumb video game I hadn't noticed it was hot. I hate summer. And the moths are just going crazy flying in this stupid house everywhere. Can you beat a video game? Because it's gotten to the point where I can't any more. I guess the problem is I hate challenges. I want a game to be possible to beat so I can proudly say "I BEAT THIS GAME!" But I apparently am the only one who thinks like I do. Or I suck at video games.

A lot of people would get bored if they were too easy. For many of us, a decent challenge is part of the appeal of videogames. Mastering a tough game is a rewarding and satisfying experience for us.

Yes, but many video games are plagued by indecent challenges, unfairly impossible challenges that can never be beaten. At least by me anyway.

I agree. I remember playing a Tomb Raider game that had one of those quick time events (press the correct random button when we tell ya or die and we force you to do it over) I couldn't do it, so I sold it. I'm playing Fallout 4 and it's nice that the developers were kind enough to include godmode on the pc version for people like me whose reaction time get worse every year.
