So now, I can blame XCOM Impossible Mode on DF.  Check out the fourth paragraph in the link below.

If this is not the right place for this please move it to a better place.

This article annoys me in that the writer is appearing to put words in Jake Solomn's mouth.

Nowhere is he quoted as being sorry or apologizing (which is fine by me, I wouldn't apologize for making an impossible difficulty level impossible)

"I just think it’s too hard. It’s funny because I do have people who tweet me and say ‘I just beat Impossible Ironman!’ and I’m like ‘what the hell is wrong with you? What kind of bad things happened to you in your life that this passes for enjoyment? I’m sorry I even designed a difficulty level like that’."

yes my friends, fun can extend to any and all games. All games should be fun. Soon. Very soon.

I'm now excited for that difficulty inducing DLC.

Until then, I'll just have to be satisfied trying to mine SMR.

"Too hard" for me always seems to be FPS death...

Okok I'll give you that one.
still though, it sounds like he's more apologizing for feeding someones masochism than what the article portrays.

Sorry, but no, you can not hold DF responsible. Nothing is to blame for the modern XCOM hardest difficulty level other than the original XCOM's insane level of diffculty, even on the easiest setting.

ORIGINAL X-COM!

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is not too hard, though you need a lot of LUCK if playing on Impossible in the first few missions. A nice playthrough is here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvqxe4XbcSiHoU4RAJeXqtz-63iOtzbNq .

Regarding the original X-COM, even on Superhuman it was and still is possible, see here, a nice playthrough with only one base in Antarctica -> http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE2EE3A4EA7101DBA .
