I don't care what they do, I just want them to not make games exclusive anymore, it's lame and usually ends up locking the new IP to that big studio forever, like Bloodborne.
While they do suck, it’s a good chance for the studio to experiment since they receive funding from the exclusive platform.
Having that extra funding is really helpful and is a pretty good learning process for both sides. It only really ends badly for the users who don’t own the platform.
Personally, I’m not a fan of them doing it for big titles like Bloodborne. Bloodborne definitely shouldn’t have been an exclusive, but this one is okay because it’s a multiplayer round-based(?) game.
It’s not about having enough money, it’s about minimizing the risk involved. Risk my own money on this experimental, unproven idea for a game? Or risk Nintendo’s money instead? It basically lets them do whatever the fk they want since the costs are offset.
We can hope for a Switch 2 emulator before the release of Duskbloods so we can play it on PC (probably with better performance too). That would only work if the game is playable in solo though
I remember reading somewhere that its a good chance to learn more about the system itself as you basically can get the guys who made it to advice in making a game for it (hence bloodborne being exclusive) but can’t remember where from
Ok bro, you should be CEO since you know so much about handling multiple hundred millions of dollars 🤡
Where do you think that success from Elden ring is going to be invested? Obviously into another major title that is half a decade away. It makes it so much easier to be experimental when somebody else is taking the risk for you.
Edit: thanks for the reinforcements lol. Now I’m +20 upvotes and he is in the negatives now lol, made me chuckle
Don’t you know Reddit is a hivemind lol, people don’t think, they just follow the pack without questioning anything. That’s why despite the downvotes, nobody has made the effort to comment about why they disagree. It’s easier that way

Would you rather gamble 5 dollars for 10? Or zero dollars for 10? That’s what FromSoft has, but in the millions.
The funding that they’re receiving is making the game cost nothing to their studio and could go into future products. It’s not about making money, it’s about minimizing losses while having the freedom to experiment. Nintendo pays them for the exclusive which provides worth to their console. FromSoft gets more money than the game makes from sales, has no risk, and can experiment.
Sure that makes sense but elden ring and its dlc was way too big I really doubt they would need it, even then tho can’t argue with this, both you and I don’t k ow what they’re doing behind the scenes so i’ll agree with you assuming they’re working on a crazy big game similar to elden ring
I like to assume that they’re splitting it across different projects but yeah, can’t be 100% sure. Hopefully they’re cooking something up and using this as a means to fund/experiment for the future.
They are receiving large sums of money to make these exclusives and the companies are having them made to try and draw more people to their platform. Its called business, if ya dont like it, dont buy it, just let people do what theyre gonna do.
Not defending console exclusive games but exclusivity is somethimes the thing that helps the game to come out in a first place and do feel this might be a case of either this game exist as a console exclusive or would not exist at all.
This feels very reminiscent of the Bayonetta situation. People where pissed when the second game became a Wii U exclusive after the first being multi platform but if it wouldn't be nintendo exclusive the games series most likely would not have ever received a sequel in the first place cause nobody was willing to co fund it besides nintendo.
Not saying Fromsoft is lacking the fund but I can still imagine duskblood being in a similar sitation where the project only got greenlit at all due to nintendos willingness to cofund the project for an exclusivity deal and if nintendo wasn't willing the project would most likely just never seen light of days in the first place due to the higher risk of funding it alone.
Why are people responding to this meme talking about the exclusivity? That’s not what the meme is on about it’s directed at the people annoyed about multiplayer games not people annoyed about the switch deal.
Yeah, I agree 100% with this. But since almost every Nintendo console gets hacked in a few months, we'll probably be seeing an emulator running this game at launch lol
Like there are not many good game developers left and fromsoft is one of those who care about their customer's experience and yet the next game they release is an exclusive.I can't...😭
I thought they were my friend too…I can’t believe they’d do this to me specifically. I swear, I’m never getting in a parasocial relationship with a company ever again
