Quite the theory you've got there.

I'm so sorry.
My opinion, but I like Palworld more than any of the 3D Pokémon games since X/Y. It's not really the same style of game when you really get into it, but the things that make Palworld different make it outright better to me. I don't plan to buy Pokémon games at all anymore, and Palworld is a significant reason why not. It's a little dismissive to suggest they aren't a threat.
Dunno if you were aware, but there's an easy tech you're able to use to get actually good travel speed. Slide down a hill, any slight decline really, and jump into a glide. Slide momentum is maintained into the glide, and any glider will give high speeds. It's the best way to explore by far.
Ah, I know what you're getting at. Honestly, it sounds incredibly plausible. 4chan's porn has always been...off.
If you understand the design philosophy of From's games, you know why you're wrong here. Have you ever even played their games? They all require you to be capable of knowing how to overcome obstacles and rise above a challenge. It's on you, no one else. They've literally always been this way. Their games are wildly successful with or without your complaints for a damn good reason.
Ok, I'll bite.
Why?
Dark Souls was beaten with voice input alone. I saw someone working on doing that with Elden Ring just the other day. This isn't a disability issue. People just don't like difficult games, and that is very much a skill issue.

I'm here for it. The fact that there are areas practically made for oompa loompas sells it for me.
The two are definitely holding hands here.
