    What is your point? I’m telling you a GaaS Soulslike will fail. You won’t make any money with this idea because it lacks the things that make us keep coming back to FromSoft year after year. This isn’t an FPS where razor thin attention spans must be constantly stimulated. Soulslike fans will scoff at constant microtransactions and skins and your stupid in game store. Wanna know how I know this? Because there is a soulslike GaaS! Wanna guess the fucken name? Since its such a good idea you should have heard of it, right? I will honestly wait for your reply to tell you the name.

      Can you name a genre that you think GaaS is a good model for?

      They just seem to make a ton

      I can’t even name every non-GaaS souls like

        The name of the game is Let It Die, btw.

        Soulslikes are very popular. We watched the genre explode ourselves.

        I don’t like GaaS, you probably know that by now. But I don’t see anything wrong with it giving free access to players. There are plenty of genres that are geat. Racing games, Shooters, sports games could probably do it easy.

        But the soulslike genre in particular, the true legends of it, are not the GaaS games. Thats why FromSoft is still the biggest dog in soulslike, they know what the genre fans want. I guess Nioh 2 could be considered GaaS with its dailies and all. But I am more specifically referring to the cancerous revolving door of content type of GaaS. That would not serve a soulslike too well imo.
