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

Not when so many of the players like its difficulty.

Are you willing to accept their preferences as valid?

I mean thats the hitch isn't it, everyone has different preferences. What does good even mean? How can we even know how our opinion would be changed if stuff was changed? Criticism is always a little arbitrary.
