I personally think being flexible early on is great since there aren't a ton of runners on the leaderboard. It seems most runners are doing the no skip runs and since its on so many platforms there's flexibility right now which will draw in more people. Not everyone has a PC (I don't, and it could be a big cost). It's convenient that anyone with a PS4, Xbox One, PC etc could start running this game immediately. As new strats come out and appear I'm sure leaderboards will adapt also. So far I think this is going in a good organized direction.
