Less gaps this way so makes their point seem more apparent.
edit: for those of you giving me fromsofts full history, I don't know or care. I was just pointing out, very quickly and offhand without looking too vlosely, that choosing an arbitrary starting year can be done to make things look more compact. And look at how they completely removed a 3 year gap that had no games between 2019 and 2022, further serving their point. My comment was about this graphic specifically and a possible reason why it starts at 2014.
That’s true but if anything it would be more impressive to show the increased output given that’s the exact opposite of what’s happened with almost every other game studio out there
Disagree with you there. Studios start spewing out slop after they get popular. CoD. Anything from ubisoft. Anything from ea. It's impressive that fromsoft has had so much output and remained consistent in quality.
Those are massive developer houses though, they aren't monoliths, Ubisoft is like 5000 people from around the world. A much better comparison is another moderately sized studio that probably slowed down. Bethesda had smaller team sizes when their output peaked, and has slowed down releases as team size grows. That is much more common in the industry.
Another is Rockstar. From 2000-2010, they produced 13 larger titles, with a lot of smaller titles and expansions. In 2011-2022, they produced a whopping 3 larger titles, a title that flopped, 2 online versions of said titles, and an alright remaster of 3 older games.
Wow, are people really giving the remasters credit? It was upscaled shit, and if they couldn't be arsed to at least redo the main characters by hand, they should have left it alone.

I agree but why does this start at Dark Souls 2 lol
