can we get clarification on what counts? i assume it has to be a tweakable setting in the menu UI that changes something about the game world

would eg the ability to choose missions by difficulty in an armored core game count? would an explicit “hardcore mode” count in the new co-op game they’re making?

>They don't know that this has already been happening for years (through e.g. humanity in DS1 or co-op), but just 1% more subtly than an explicit UI

I want this so much but I don't have much hope lol
