It depends a lot on the type of game that dude is running.
It’s certainly not the type I’d be running, but I can see the appeal to some, to run a tough campaign with lots of dice and close calls/dead characters.
But it really needs to be aligned that all people in the party like that.
For example, I did run a few games of Dread, and it’s really fun precisely because the characters can die quite easily and in very dramatic ways.
But of course, if you prefer to build and develop your characters over a long time, then this is not the style of game that fits you.
(Though I’d really recommend giving Dread a try. It’s amazing for thrilling, immersive one-off sessions)
