Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree currently has a 'Mixed' status on Steam, with many of the negative reviews complaining that the bosses are too hard [also game's PC performance] (www.pcgamer.com)

Well, again, a separate easy mode wouldn't affect you at all. Not everyone is going to be like you. You and I find it rewarding to overcome the difficulties the game presents, and for people who want an easy mode to explore and have a chill time with, it'd be just as rewarding for them to focus on what they want to focus on. I really don't see the point of getting all bent out of shape over it. Even papa Miyazaki said he is OK with people wanting to use mods to make the game easier or to do silly things (as long as it's offline so it doesn't ruin it for others), as long as they're having fun, that's all that matters. I would be fine with an easy mode. Everyone has different definitions of fun, after all, and tbh, I do see the obvious appeal of an easy mode. It would expand the player base, for one. It'd open it up for casual less skilled players, which I see as a net win. The gatekeeping mentality of this community has to go.

I didn't say it did affect me or that I'm against it. I'm just saying the problem people are having already has a solution, it's just not as simple as 1 button.
