NO. They don't want it to be offered to others. That's the fucking point you keep trying to disguise again and again in all sort of increasingly pathetic excuses, constantly trying to narrowly redefine what exactly it is that they lose, to no avail.
- I don't want you offering me this option"
- Cool, because I ain't offering it to you. This is for other people that are not you.
- But if its there, even if I don't want it or will never take it, it's mere existence of use to others will ruin my game, because my joy is hard linked to it not existing for everybody.
See how absurdly pathetic this proposition is?
And again, there's the strawman.
You again make the claim that someone is bothered the option is there for someone else.
People are fine with Doom offering easy difficulty.
People are fine with other games offering easy difficulty.
People are NOT fine with this game offering easy difficulty.
They want the experience for these games to be unapologizingly hard, which Doom and those other games aren't. They can be super hard, but they can't ever be unapologizingly hard.
The game and the devs would apologize the game's tough and rough minimum difficulty the moment it offers an easy mode.
The game got its fans and the series built its brand by having that exact unapologizing difficulty. The non-existence of an easy mode is part of the game. It is it's actual feature. It's part of the game's presentation. It is there by an actual design choice. There is no way around that.
I am defending the integrity and the philosophy of these games without even wanting to play them and not being a fan of them. So your claim of not wanting an easy mode for Souls games coming from the will to deny others than me to experience has zero ground to it.
Sure, sure. Just reread the previous answer as many times as you need.
Yeah, still wrong. Completely wrong.
Amazingly lame rigmarole you mounted there. I guess that's why you get "need", "ask" and "demand" all interchangeably mixed and confused in your brain.
Oh, yes, you only
"support" the people who need and ask and demand.
The real point you can't avoid keeps being exactly the same: the currently existing ways of having an easier experience didn't take anything from the experience of the players that didn't want them.
What is irrelevant is if the existence of those ways came from inside or outside the game. Their mere existence didn't change the players experience.
The proposition "but it would if they were an option in the game, because then the players that don't want them and wouldn't use them would be affected by having a choice they won't use that's focused at others" is beyond idiotic.
The currently existing ways ARE NOT PART OF THE GAME.
When you buy the game and start playing it, those existings ways are not there. They are not in the menu screen. They are not in the options. They are not part of the game. They are not part of the experience. When an "EASY MODE" is written and choosable in the menu screen or in the options, it becomes part of the game. The menu screen is part of the presentation of the game. The options screen is part of the presentation of the game. It is a different thing to launch a game that says right there in the title screen and main options that this game has a choice to be played easier. Whatever cheats and trainers others make does not change the initial presentation of the game. Those cheats and trainers will become an option only after downloading and installing whatever needs to be downloaded and installed.

all. Which is really odd because even I do even though I don't like playing them and I'm not a fan of them.
To me the IDEA of those games is extremely important to preserve. I wouldn't play them but I appreciate the idea a lot.
With a choosable EASY MODE the
unapologizingly dreadful experience becomes only a dreadful experience at maximum. It's like a Mike Tyson who would tell you he's always ready to fight less hard if you want and even would do it if you asked. It wouldn't be the legendary unapologizingly dreadful opponent anymore.
The option to choose an easy mode would always be there and would be part of the presentation of the game all the time and the game would then be presented as "not necessarily a tough game" instead of unapologizingly tough game.
The addition of an EASY MODE button in the menu screen or in the options would be there every time you go to the menu and options after failing or launching the game again. Part of the designed presentation of the game is that when you quit the game because it's tough and start it again, it offers you the exact same level of difficulty you had trouble with the last time. The game will present no way to offer an easier way to go through it. That option has been excluded from the game by a design choice. The devs know the importance of presentation and that is how they want to present the game to everyone. And that presentation is what has hooked a lot of people into playing those games and that presentation is a huge part of why they love it.
Part of the designed presentation of the game is to not give the player a thought that the difficulty could be changed lower. And the fact that there are people needing, asking, wanting, demanding etc easy mode to be added just prove how important part of the presentation that actually is. They have a different feel of dread about those games exactly because they know there is no easy mode included. They want a game that loses that sense of dread. They want the dread to be optional when the intended design and presentation has always been that the dread is not optional. They want a different game. And good for them, there are plenty of games to choose from that offer something else. No need to change a carefully designed experience a lot of people love.
Sure, it is exactly the same fucking thing to say I support the people that ask for an easier experience than saying I'm "demanding the devs". GTFO
If there are people who demand or ask or need this change to be made and you support them, then there is no difference.
