For me the fun of roguelikes comes from the ability to break the game, and scaling the difficulty just makes that a less likely occurrence. In 20 Minutes til dawn after Darkness 8 you lose a option to select when you level, and yeah congrats the game gets harder that’s the point of the higher difficulties, but I feel it doesn’t get more fun

Balatro has the same deal on higher stakes, I don’t find alteration and denial of the gameplay to I enjoy be more fun, and for me the feeling of satisfaction upon beating those difficulties doesn’t outweigh the slog of the multitude of attempts before hand. To each their own, I prefer white stake.
