Easy, normal, and gamer should be separated since they are effectively different runs due to the fact that Big Chunk spawns at day 5 on easy, day 4 on normal, and day 3 on gamer. There are also significant differences between easy, normal, and gamer on most speedruns. Also if Easy Normal and Gamer are split there will be more WR's to compete for since each difficulty will have Its own wr to attempt to beat.
I think its a valid concern for the chunk category. We will have to see how much the other categories are affected by difficulty
