Options are never bad. That's one of the great things about Don't Starve (and Factorio) in that they let you set up the game you want to play. Want a hard-core death simulator? Don't Starve gives you that 'option'. Want a more casual fun time? You get that too.
You don't want ONI to just be for the hard-core players. You want options that appeal to all players.
