That would be easier to for the average gamer

Originally, the protagonist of the game was to be "Count Magnus Wolfram", a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tattoo man with superhuman strength and supernatural abilities. Barker himself rejected this idea, noting that the more normal, down-to-earth Patrick Galloway would be easier to relate to for the average gamer.

I know "relate" is the transitive verb, so I'd like to know whether "relate" is a typing error of "be related" and whether "and" has been omitted before "for."

Thank you in advance for your help.

park sang joonI think the default structure of "relate" is "A relate B (D.O) to C."
Not in this meaning of 'relate'.

I can't relate to Mary. ~ I don't understand Mary. ~ I don't share any interests with Mary. ~ I don't share the same values or aspirations with Mary. ~ I don't feel that I know how to interact with Mary.
