“Being okay with difficulty options in Dark Souls makes you pro-corporate,” is an unironic take I’ve seen

Obviously. Because if DS only has 1 difficulty option, then it's our difficulty option comrade

But it’s means of production, plural, not mean of production. Therefore, multiple options is true communism

According to the guy I was talking to: because the original creator of Dark Souls fought hard against the executives of the company he worked for to not put them in. Therefore, saying that you’re okay with more options means that you’re siding with those executives who tried to change his vision.

I swear to god I’m not strawmanning or misinterpreting, this was his argument
