The article reflects on the personal struggle of a gamer who dislikes boss battles, highlighting a growing trend in gaming toward inclusivity. The author recalls their controversial stance advocating for skippable boss fights, which sparked significant backlash. However, recent positive experiences, such as discovering a 'boss skip option' in the game South of Midnight, suggest that developers are beginning to recognize and cater to players who find traditional boss mechanics frustrating. The narrative indicates a potential change in gaming culture, moving towards a more accommodating approach for various player skills.

"I recently loaded South of Midnight, interested to check out such a gorgeous-looking game, and was immediately delighted by the art...but then I was underwhelmed by the repetitive combat."
