Personally, I think those playing games that require problem-solving are the ones who will choose to not look up easy solutions.
In other words, if you choose to play a puzzle game, it's because you want to be challenged.
The real problem is that so many games these days are action-based, so it's all about reflexes. While this has some advantages, noted above, I still think it's sad the adventure gaming has vanished into a corner.
