A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Dark Souls trilogy, waited a long long time to try it out due to the memes of the brutal difficulty.
When DS remastered came out, I finally took the plunge and am now a through enjoyer of souls games. They are difficult, but fair (as long as you're not doing pvp lol)
The memes about difficulty I think helped them gain a community, but now they only hurt. They really aren't all that hard. They can be if you want them to be, but most of the time they're somewhat easy (well, with a few bosses that are exceptions, like O&S). The meme needs to die.
It really depends on your build and playstyle imo, you definitely need to be able to learn and adapt to what you're fighting which can be construed as difficult. I agree though the meme should die (and I think it kinda did with ER)
