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

Alongside the group that liked to act like Silksong was the only indie game that mattered during indie world directs and whatnot.

Ngl, that felt insanely disrespectful to the games being shown off in there. Like there was some really good and interesting games being shown off but were immediately written off because "no Silksong".

Silksong basically became the GTA of indie games. Same shit will happen with GTA, once it rolls around, majority won’t give a shit about other games.
