Not really because you not being able to play the game makes fromsoft less money than you being able to beat it. If you could beat it, there’s a chance you might buy the DLC, whereas not being able to complete the game discourages you buying another fromsoft game in the future. This is why elden ring has some level of “easy mode” through co-op summoning, mimic tears and over leveling.
It’s not expropriation. That’s like saying you were scammed for buying a game that you don’t meet the system requirements for and can’t play it because it doesn’t run.
it’s still extorting money, even if the reason for it wasn’t extortion at first.

it’s still expropriation regardless of the level going on, too. 50% scamming is 50% better than 100% scamming but it’s still scamming someone
