Not milking it is what has kept my faith in the company and what will continue to encourage me to buy their collectors editions even though I know I'm overpaying.

Always loved Armored Core as well and got the collectors edition.

Long term loyalty > Milking and burning bridges

    aren't they making an Elden Ring movie? how much more can you capitalize on the series? They're also making a Bloodbourne movie.

    At this point I'm more pissed over the fact they're not making a Dark Souls movie or hell even a Dark Souls 4. I god damn want to see the Deacons of the Deep and Yhorm on the big screen!

    From what I'm understanding reading the article, I think they're mad that they're not doing more than one thing at a time, and trying to bet in market trends. Which is stupid because they know their genre and they know it well. So if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    so it sounds like they are mad that fromsoftware isn't pushing out the same bi to tri-yearly trend style slop that every other companies seems to be doing.

    It had an extremely successful expansion and spinoff game, do they expect micro transactions on top of it all?
