Hypothetical here.

What if the game devs added an easy mode to the next Souls game. They do this because they wanted to, not because of any alleged pressure or influence. The game still has a satisfying difficult on normal and higher difficulty levels, as the game was balanced around them. In fact, it's the hardest game yet.

Would you still find yourself unable to enjoy that game?

The same people that pull the "respect the dev's vision" card would 100% go into Nuclear Meltdown Mode and hurl a bunch of vitriol at FromSoft for months, including death threats and review-bombing, for "bending the knee to casuals" and "giving in to the pressure," etc. And they'll still buy the game.

That is exactly what would happen in that scenario.
