My objection to this isn't "That's not a valid way to play because everyone should git gud," but rather, "That looks like a bad version of Sekiro." And while more sales for From would mean more games, the game's already sell a boatload, and it also risks sending the message of "Players want more of this bad stuff, so make the game like that."
Nonsense. If it sells well already, then mods like this just show there's a market for both, not a shift to making the whole game just easier for everyone.
