From Software keep making marginal iterations on the same games over and over again. That some of their games are popular and sell well is merely incidental and secondary to gradually making what the frick they want to make.
This has literally been true since the PS1 era and early King's Field/Armored Core and is not likely to change for anything.
I'd like to eat ice cream all day, but I don't as I'm not a fricking child and see how bad that is for me.
Not releasing an expansion pack to follow up your most popular game, one which has almost ten times the fricking players, is baffling. The didn't strike when the iron was hot, and now an Elden Ring expansion will sell a fraction of what it could've had.
I hope their investors fire the entire executive team and replace them for this idiocy.

You're in the wrong neighborhood.
"Unable to refute argument" suggests that there was ever an argument to refute in the first place.
The only thing

said was >FromSoftware are moronic for not making (business decision)
This is Ganker and I don't give a shit about how much money FromSoftware makes. I do, however, care that they continue unapologetically to make games that aren't meant to be understood or liked by most people.
They merely got lucky that anyone gave a damn about Demons Souls and Dark Souls. Without the big boost from streamers and youtubers during those games' initial run, FromSoft would STILL only continue making the same stuff they have been making.
This is what is called "having integrity." FromSoft demonstrate with their actions that, rather than chase money, they will chase the games they want to see instead.
How often do you make threads about how AC6 stopped them from making DLC/an Expansion for Elden Ring, despite the fact that they are making an expansion for it and announced it some time ago as Shadows of the Erdtree?
Also who cares lol have a nice day you fricking vermin.
>Implying they werent an ACsweapshop
The first 7 armored core games are practically clones of each other, that's more games than in the entire souls series
>Only good game you make is Dark Souls >Its so good that people even buy and pretend to love the Prequel >Its so good that people buy all the sequels despite them being shit >Its so good that people buy all the spin offs like BloodBorne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring >Not good enough to sell their other dead franchises
Meanwhile western devs are tired, overworked, can't do the work, can't even release proper patches for the 1 game they made 5 years ago that's "taking all the budget" making it so they can't push out any other games, only more cash shop items.
good

That already makes you a child. A child with modicum of selfcontrol but still a child nonetheless.

You're a fricking moronic soulsdrone. They were one of the most unique developers around until they became a soulsweatshop.

Good.

Oof
This game is getting higher numbers than DS2 and Sekiro rn.
This is 2023 fricko. Inflation is massive. Just because you're doing better than a game you released 10-20 years ago doesn't mean shit
inflation isnt real and only transitory
Isn't 100k good though?
Fromsoft games aren't high budget and that number is guaranteed at least 1 million in sales.
money isn't real but I still have to give to people for shit
>Isn't 100k good though?
Yeah, other mecha devs would KILL for that number.
It's also a frickin thursday, people still have school/work tomorrow.
Gotta love seeing reddit ring gays seething
Why would the team that works on AC be the same team that works on Souls titles you frickin moron
two birds with one stone
>Muh soulless soul slop
Frick off
You got filtered by the helicopter didn't you
the expansion is still coming
sekiro 2 is coming
dark souls 4 is coming
kings field v is coming
trust the plan
>kings field v is coming
This is impossible to happen. You know that.
I know nothing.

I unironically think a proper, modernized, King's Field 5 would be a hit. It could even be more popular than something like AC6.
Normies like the Souls formula, and normies like first-person action games. Do the math.
>Elden Ring
>Worthwhile
pick one
Sometimes I wonder if anons like this one will ever get tired of slurping shittakejizz.
Elden Ring Is barely better than Demon's Souls or Dark Souls 2. A large part of it was due to the shit done to make the open world viable.
