Did it ever occur to you that not everyone has endless hours to spend "getting better" at a game. To most people, a game is just that. A game. A distraction for a few minutes. Then there is work, family time, laundry, mowing the lawn, what have you. I am willing to get a bit of a hard time in a game but i have enough aggravation during the work day dealing with incensitive ignorant douchebags er... customers. I dont need to be put down by a no life little buttmunch with a super fast connection and the latest aimbot. That is why i (and many other people with a life outside games) put my money (of which i have considerably more than a 14 year old living with his parents, making me and my tastes a more attractive market to game designers) on easyer games. I am not lazy. I am f*ing tired and just want to relax.
There are many kinds of people with many kinds of needs and tastes in the world. Game companies being businesses, follow the money. Right now the money seems to be coming more from casual gamers than from the hard core ones. Just look at facebook game producers Zynga!
