In the earliest days of video games, it was [[NIntendoHard all but guaranteed]] that players would become intimately familiar with the GameOver screen. Games were exceedingly difficult, requiring a massive amount of patience to finish. However, in most if not all cases, this difficultly was not a deliberate, artistic choice, but one of inexperienced developers and technological limitations, leading to countless [[FakeDifficulty cheap moments of difficulty]].
As time has gone on and video game development has become more understood and more advanced, these cheap moments have been reduced dramatically. Challenges have gotten a lot more fair and accessible so that people don't have to spends hours upon hours perfecting their gameplay. Even the very concept of VideoGameLives is largely only seen in deliberately {{Retraux}} games these days. Some games take it a step further and remove the concept of a failure state altogether, making it so it is literally impossible for your player character to die.
!!Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Platformer]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Gris}}'': At no point in the game is it possible for Gris to die by failing a challenge. Fall off a platform and you just land on a lower level and can immediately make your way back up to try again.
