Elden Ring Would Not Have Been Popular in Other Eras, Such as the 1920s, Because Video Games Didn’t...

"Players would assume that the game had arrived on Earth from the depths of Hell, and would have dismissed the gameplay as “tedious” and “too difficult.”"

If someone dropped Elden Ring on a fully playable PS5 in the 1920s, Alan Turing would lose his shit
