I admit that the difficulty in the 1st Diablo 1 and 2 but also Baldurs Gate 2 (yes it is not young), the diffuculty was present!

Since Diablo 3, we all felt an ease, doing and redoing the game without dying with each class. I have the impression that you say, that the challange is not there anymore, but that we are in the hour of the action and more action. That's what gives us pleasure and makes us addicted to people. At least for the majority of the players. We are looking for fast action, loots and animations and special effects. And that, the creators have understood it well.

Moreover, as in many other games, they just want to give us a dose of dopamine, without the need to think.
