RE: The META Problem
I notice that in my kids. When they get a new Switch game, they immediately load up YouTube and look for tutorials. Crazy. I always tell them the fun of the game is exploring it, but they tell me I'm outdated.
But then again, when we were kids there was Nintendo Power and the playground network, where we all shared the game tutorials directly. Not quite the same as now, but similar enough I suppose.
I'd guess humans have always been looking for the easy/lazy way since the beginning.

Yes, that is a good point. I remember I got the Final Fantasy guide through Nintendo Power (still have it too) before I even touched the game. I read that thing front to back several times and I knew exactly the path I was going to take. The fun part was trying different variations after I ran the "META", but I don't think people do that these days.
