Elden Ring's developers know most players use guides, but still try to cater to those who go in blind: 'If they can't do it, then there's some room for improvement on our behalf' (www.pcgamer.com)

How do you agree with them on elitism? They were being elitist in calling the usage of guides pathetic.

Hadn't considered that viewpoint, you're absolutely correct.

When it's the same people that brag about playing games that don't hold your hand, it seems hypocritical to find an outside source to HOLD YOUR HAND, doesn't it?

You have no reason to believe these are exactly the same people. Seems to me you are conflating them because you want to shit on people using guides and at the same time excuse yourself for being an ass because "tHey ArE hyPOcrItEs".

Even if you were right, what is the problem with people wanting mechanical difficulty and using guides to learn how to master it?
