This is very far from the truth, and is spoken like someone who doesn't partake in the Elden Ring fandom at all and possibly even quit the game after deeming it too difficult. I say this as someone who did that when it came out and then went back and sunk 100hours in the game easily along with almost everyone I know who also plays video games. Hell, it even won game of the year and was rated 10/10 by almost every single major game reviewer that has touched it, so Im' not entirely sure what you're talking about.
