You think people play Dark Souls because it is "hard" and "dark fantasy" Or do people play it because the gaming community at large plays it, and people want to join in the conversation and have fun with the community?

High quality games were never the point, look at Roblox

There are two kinds of gamers actually. Those who play for the social aspect and those who play for the ... let's call it experience.

If you're not in the latter category you'll probably assume a game's quality is proportional to the # of tiktok videos about it of course.

You'll also think all games are multiplayer live service :)

I just mean if AAA games become inaccessible, I imagine there will be large community efforts on creating alternatives to that.
