are people who play on easy pussys ? or smart ? wich are you ?
Neither. People who play on easy just aren't looking for a challenge, but usually just something to occupy their time.
i don't like this comment…
you're basically saying “People who play on easy just can't be bothered, and lack the drive to play on harder difficulties.” It's negative, almost degrading and insulting.
To apply this to another example, let's say World of Warcraft – people who play on RP realms and enjoy roleplaying instead of main aim to level up and grow stronger means they can't? It insinuates they are unfit to enjoy the game in the social realistic manner as set by standardisation.

Though I'm sure you didn't mean it to sound like that, or perhaps I'm over-analysing it, but what I think would make a better statement is to say: “People who play on easy, regardless of their skill level in the genre of game in question, may perhaps be looking for something other than the often unrealistic difficulty of the game. Though the sentence is almost the same, it implements a deeper understanding of the focus group.
On a more personal level, I don't have a standard of the difficulty i set for any particular game. It depends entirely on what the game is, and what the individual difficulty setting offers in terms of game play. With Bioshock 2, I automatically put the difficulty to hard mode without vita-chambers. It's fine with me because I enjoy the challenge of getting the trophies involved, and I know from playing the first game roughly what it's going to be like.
However, let's say there were no trophies involved, and there was only a single player mode. Chances are, I would be playing it on normal, or even easy. Why? Because I've always enjoyed the story of a game far more than the game itself.
To sum up, every person is different, every game is different; and every instance of the two, is different. Whatever someone's reason for playing a game the way they want to play it, what gives anyone else the right to discredit that?
