@Johnnephew Amazing. I have started to completely distrust any online sources which I don't know to be reputable.
I've seen a lot of this on the software development side, but apparently it's very quickly spreading to other fields as well.
@Johnnephew I mean... Is it wrong though? That's thorough research. 
@Johnnephew@dice.camp
What??? It must be true because it's on the internet!
@Johnnephew I think it is actually lifted from "Elden Ring"
"Scaling" is a term from Soulsborne games. As you increase the stat, some weapons get more effective than others if it is suited to those stats
I found those words from your article on this Elden Ring wiki

@dampscot @Johnnephew oh my - but it reads as if it was AI written.
@wgahnagl @Johnnephew oh aye, but the mechanics seem true to Soulsborne
No doubt even the wiki lifted it from elsewhere
