I was certain this game would flop since most people play FromSoftware games for the single-player experience. How has it not flopped?

It did by comparison. You also forget soulsslop is a normie franchise now and has been since DS2 came out. All you little reddit retards love to play 3 man in it because invasionchads keep railing your mom in front of you.

It sold 5,000,000 which is great for a low-budget asset flip. They probably spent more on getting that Evanescence song than they did for actual game development.

No by having less active players than the actual game despite being 5 years newer.

They said in an interview that they let newly hired novice developers work on it, to gain more experience with the engine and tooling. As a result, they now have millions of extra profit and a small army of more experienced devs.

Textbook win-win for FS.

1) It has the Elden Ring branding (very important)
2) It's a co-op game
3) Slow but consistent trickle of minor updates
4) The relics are essentially gacha
5) FOMO with the everdark boss variants
6) The devs promised DLC so people aren't gonna drop the game until that's out
7) It's a multiplat
8) People have been duped into thinking $40 is cheap now that $80 is the new normal
