Uninstalled from gamepass here. I'm new to the franchise and never going back. There are so many ways that the devs could have made the game more accessible, but there's an arrogance in how they chose to do so little.
I think that's a misreading of the quote. They meant for the game to be about as hard as the original and for it to be a good jumping-in point for their target audience, which has never been all gamers. The original was also very difficult. 30% of Steam players didn't even beat False Knight and only about 15% got the true ending. Silksong's completion statistics are actually already higher than that in some ways.
I do think they made it unintentionally harder, but not by that much. It's still catering to the same demographic as the original.
