My boss is a big Musk/Tesla fan, so he and I shoot the shit about these things often. I asked him about Musk's supposed trillion dollar pay package, and....man, I'd hoped he'd agree that's too much money, but sure enough he found a way to justify it. No amount is too much apparently

Personally I think we'd all be better off not even calling them Soulslikes, for this very reason. Full-blown Soulslikes have so many more nuances and systems that add to the experience.
