    One of the fund’s main criticisms concerns the commercial management of Elden Ring. While the game has been a major success worldwide, Oasis believes Kadokawa failed to fully benefit from that success.

    Huh??? They made a very successful DLC, a very successful spinoff game, a licensed manga, and a Hollywood movie coming up. What more do they want them to do?

      The next paragraph after that one:

      The game is published directly by FromSoftware in Japan, but overseas distribution is handled by Bandai Namco. According to the investment fund, this arrangement resulted in a “material profit leakage” for the company.

      So, it sounds like they’re unhappy that Kadokawa let Bandai Namco take a cut.

        That doesn’t mean fire him, that means spell on getting to get the distrobution rights. Punishing someone for unrealized capital is foolish, they proved they can make money and make a product people want.

        Wait 10 minutes to revive or buy the season pass and respawn instantly.

        Skip the boss for only €4.99.

        Buy the “Elden Lord” pack to get the best armor in the game.

        Buy the loot box with .00001% chance of a fully upgraded weapon.
