But you're not removing anything from the game. You're just adding an option that's there for anyone who wants it.

And again, never in the history of gaming has an easier difficulty setting EVER negatively impacted a game's score because what most people (and especially reviewers) do when they find a game to be too easy is.....turn up the difficulty setting. Hell, many games even have a recommended or suggested difficulty setting that they want people to play the game on. I don't see why something like that would be a problem.

I fail to understand how simply having the option is a bad thing in any way. Furthermore, I thought FromSoftware and its fans were above caring about what mainstream gaming outlets think?

There's never been this much attention on a franchise to cater to an easy mode. Hell, I can't even remember another game in general where people complained about it needing an easy mode. There would be a lot of people half heartedly playing ot to say it sucks just to "prove" the series relied only on difficulty. Or we can pretend we still don't understand how the internet and this type of attention ends up.

Also, you keep trying to force emotions on me lol. You think because Im theorizing about how it's viewed in the mainstream, I must care. We're just talking. Im also not a monolith for all Souls fans. So, even if I was emotional like you assume, it would be pretty unfair to use me to unfairly judge an entire community and somehow also the developers themselves (?) Lol. That's just another hint at you having some type of bias in this. You want Souls fans to suck and be hypocrites for some reason >_>.
