Why remove all difficulties from game?

This isn't a survival game, though. It is a hybrid game with some survival mechanics. I would be willing to bet that over 80% of people playing this game are not hardcore survival players.

Yes, you're right about that. Soon it won't be a survival game at all.

Early on food was much harder to come by and you had to hunt for food far more often. This made hunger a more problematic debuff.

Hunting Big Mama hoping she'd drop a hoe. Good times.

I don't know what happened to the real FUN Pimps and their game. Every new version gets more and more watered down... with nicer graphics though.

It's like they've been binge watching Zombieland for 4-5 years now and trying to recreate it here.

If TFP really wanted to appeal to more players, they wouldn't be removing all survival elements in favor of producing a generic looter shooter (or worse), but would approach development in terms of modes, e.g. the hard-core mode of New Vegas or the Survival mode of FO4.

They've done the opposite because the game was originally a small scope, Kickstarter backed survival game.

If they'd picked some variables to classify as survival mode instead of stripping the game of survival and immersive elements, the community probably wouldn't be in turmoil today.

Is it still doable? Maybe.
