Hi Charles, Unfortunately, that sort of mentality isn't limited to blind gamers. There are some people who are so eager to complete the game, so eager to finish it, that they will go to a game FAQ site and read the entire walkthrough just so they can complete the game the first time through. Personally, I've never understood this mindset, but each to their own I guess.
As you have noticed we have our own little community right here on Audyssey who seem not to care about challenge or replay value. They download a game at 10 and by 11 they are asking the list for a detailed walkthrough or other how to beat the game. In my opinion its a type of cheating, but who am I to put them down. After all, I think we all enjoy different things, and I guess for some people what matters is winning regardless of how they do it. For me I want to take my time and do it without cheats, walkthroughs, etc unless I am really stuck. Cheers!
