You're making it all about Souls which it really isn't. It's about the general negative responses that seem to happen whenever there's even the suggestion that options be made available to help less able players enjoy a game.

And that I doubt. Yes, there are always some complainers, but outside of Souls I see no real discussion about difficulty.

Uhhhhh... I was just discussing it... and not in terms of Dark Souls... and you just reacted as if I were talking about Dark Souls O_o...  I don't believe this topic was about Dark Souls at all originally.

It's like you're saying when people talk about fruits they're always talking about apples.  Then when someone talks about oranges, you're like, "no you're really talking about apples".
