For anyone who believes that, I recommend playing a computer game under conditions that they can’t save the game and they have only one attempt. And the game is chosen by someone else, and there is no manual or online walkthrough. And it’s the only game they can play, ever.
Now let’s see how often PCs would beat all the NPCs.
Actually I think I could do this for a lot of video games, if I exercised caution on a level that would make the game unfun. (if it’s an RPG for example, farming up on monsters way lower level than me until the limit of when I stop getting XP, always being the highest level allowed at that part of the storyline, etc). I bet I could even do it for a lot of dangerous puzzle games with no leveling up. I almost made it through Portal 2 without dying, and I was only playing at a level of caution that was fun.
