I think they are rather insulting as they treat the player as if they were a recalcitrant child instead of a consenting player who just wants to enjoy themselves while challenging their little grey cells. I am pro 'Custom game modes' where you can turn the penalties and timers off. I want to enjoy my game and am always impatient to proceed unimpeded by ridiculous mental cursors or frozen screens. And I find it hard to believe that anybody else likes to have their game shut down on them because they ran out of time, or had so many parameters that they got killed off at inopportune moments and had to start again. It makes my blood boil having to start a game again from scratch. I relegate it to the delete pile in demo-trials, or shove it away in a desk-top folder never to be played again if I've been so foolish that I bought it. Doesn't it make you want to chuck your computer out the window into the fish pond below when that happens to you???!!!
