The launch of Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has kicked off another round of difficulty discourse, with some players saying From Software’s latest is too tough for its own good and streamers publicly swearing off the game. But while some of those complaints have tipped over into vitriol predictably hurled at From Software, the game’s reviewers, and other players, the expansion is also showing the best side of Elden Ring’s player base, as some fans have dedicated themselves to making sure everyone gets to experience the brutal new Land of Shadow.
