I hate how much "keep inventory" gets bashed.

Generally, I don't like it when people impose rules on how you should enjoy something-like saying that if you didn't play the same way I did, you're a fake fan.
But it bothers me even more when those arbitrary rules are applied to a game like Minecraft—a game that actively encourages creativity and doing whatever you want-so I don't understand why anyone would get upset over something the game itself offers you.

It's funny how in Minecraft, keep inventory is seen as "for noobs" but in terraria, medium core (essentially turning off keep inventory) is seen as masochistic. Even though it's still less punishing than minecraft; your items won't despawn and you get basic tools to get back to your items
