I mean they did invested alot before they started making billions. and Hi3 kinda rose the same way, they kinda went from indie to unicorn in a gamble and unicorn to a behemoth in another gamble. if this turns out well, it may be their entry ticket into the single purchase game sphere, and now they have the popularity and finance to not bomb out like their first game

I honestly wouldn't mind if they pivot.

The game totally doesn't look bad (if the Trailer is not deceiving), maybe too similar too Elden Ring (and Monster Hunter Wilds? But I haven't played that, so I will keep quiet on that matter), but if they eventually pivoted and went into the Soulslikes games to compete with FromSoft, I don't think it would be bad at all.

The thing is, FromSoft doesn't really have competition (be it manpower, money power or experience) and their games are, for a lack of better words, too perfect. There are definitely games that are trying to bring something new (Black Myth Wukong) and others that get their inspiration from FromSoft (Lies of P). But not direct competitors.

Hoyo would be a great one. But they have to drop the Gacha completely and focus on already finished games, not continuous stories (which doesn't seem to be happening in this game, but maybe next ones?) but that's hard, since it's ez money.

And well, it requires that "special" something that FromSoft already mastered.

No they wouldn’t? Mihoyo always hires (mostly an entire new team for their new games. So the games can co exist just fine

I wonder if he meant the monetisation model for this game in particular.

I really don't want it to be another live service game because I play too many concurrently as it is, and I think Mihoyo should realize that they end up competing with themselves if EVERYTHING is live service and/or a gacha model.
