Whatever happened to demanding players just git gud?

The Elden Ring DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree, has been out for almost a week, and it’s been receiving mixed reviews. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s hard. Developer FromSoftware heard the pleas from those who can’t hang with the game’s difficulty and added a new update to make it a little easier for the whiners. The calibration update 1.12.2 went live on Wednesday and will affect the new mechanic added to the DLC called Shadow Realm Blessing.

The new Blessing system also beefs up the summons available to players, known as Spirit Ashes. Players can also find Revered Spirit Ashes throughout the Shadow Realm, and their summons can do even more damage. So why is a developer like FromSoftware, one that purposely makes its games difficult, now deciding to make Shadow of the Erdtree a little easier? Well, it’s because players were whining about it.
