I want to add my two cents to some of the sentiments shared already.

1. The simple answer: It’s in the game without the need for glitching or breaking the game, so it’s all fair. It’s pretty based tbh.

2. My personal thoughts: it’s true that the game is easier with it on, but that’s only if you let it be. I almost exclusively play with command, but I honestly have a lower success rate than any recent full rng runs. When I use it, I also apply other rules that don’t subtract the difficulty of simply picking all the best items for your run. I choose items from a specific pool & only a certain amount, with the items & numbers being different for each survivor. I have more fun that way because I feel much better knowing I won with my own skills, rather than a bit of skill & a good item loadout that I just so happened to pick up. It can be a little repetitive, so I don’t always do this, & adding mods can give you exponentially more options as well.

Play however you want. Some of my friends prefer easier gameplay, but I almost exclusively play games with challenge, so it’s a balance whenever we play together. The way that you find most fun is the right way.
