  “death of the author” suggests some of the author’s intent is lost when a work is consumed by the audience.

    Go a degree I guess as the audiences own experiences will determine there own interpretation of the work, but in this situation I don’t think someone’s own experiences is going to impact too much the fact that silksong is hard as nails at points

    Then it’s not the developer’s fault anymore that the game is hard.
    It exists by itself.

  I can accept stupid decisions. I don’t have to respect them.

    No you don’t, so you can either mod the game or not play the game right?

    Respect is a weird word. It seems to have 2 nearly opposite meanings (kind of like literally):

    1. Deep admiration for someone or something for their abilities, qualities, or achievements
    2. Due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others

    So the first one implies that respect must be earned. The second implies that everyone must be respected by default (their due regard), thus respect is unearned.

      I’ve always heard: Respect is given, not earned. Trust is earned and easy to lose. Don’t confuse politeness with respect.
