    And the idea that every game should be for everyone is the reason why Elden Ring is… kind of a bad game.

    Great open world, beautiful scenery… bad boss design, which yes — that is the game.

    Like, think about this in the real world setting. Think about how this hyopthetical would play out, person becomes disabled and has to sit in a wheelchair. Everyone agrees ‘it’s not fair that they can’t walk, no one should walk because this person can’t’. And then everyone sits in a wheelchair despite being perfectly abled.

    Does that make sense to you? Because it doesn’t to me, I’m sorry if there are people who can’t beat these games — but damn, at some point you have to recognize life isn’t fair and just enjoy the shit you do enjoy. If being good at a video game isn’t important to you, ok that’s your prerogative. Do not play the hard video game. But this constant whining about difficulty settings and nerfs is just obnoxious.

      I’m sorry that having an optional setting for people that aren’t as capable as so offensive to you. I also think most people would agree it would be pretty cool if we could fairly easy add an option for people in a wheelchair to get them walking. Clearly you’d rather they didn’t.

        Great so you missed the point entirely, just like most people miss the point of games with one difficulty setting.
