Dark Souls is still a relatively niche game in the grand scheme of things. Maybe not Elden Ring or even Bloodborne, but the Souls trilogy and Sekiro are still pretty unknown in the normie sphere. The Internet makes it seem like everybody has played these games but in actuality they're still considered too hardcore by the average casual gamer. There's nothing wrong with this, I just think it's worth pointing out that online discussions about Dark Souls (and soulslikes in general) presents it as having way more cultural relevance than it really does.
