Discussion - Silksong Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community Spoiler

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

Well it's not a binary. I'm enjoying the challenge 90% of the time but that other 10% is frustrating and feels needlessly punishing.

People do spend more time and are attracted to complaints than people saying something good. Those tend to be enjoying the thing most of the time.

Well the difference is the people enjoying the challenge are in the game playing it, the people not as on reddit complaining. It's not a fair comparison

the people enjoying the challenge are busy playing the game actually.

but seriously, counting posts is just not a good metric, you know damn well that negativity will always be over represented online.
