How does FromSoftware release AAA games so frequently? Elden Ring boss says "we are just blessed with a great staff" that the studio empowers and retains (www.gamesradar.com)

I think it's less hatred and more... Not understanding the wider audience, afaik it's just not as common in Japan for uw to be a thing in general. Also it adds even more complexity to performance tuning which... They're not known for. They clearly make games targeted for consoles over PC, the Bethesda comparison is pretty apt in engine reuse and odd decisions to limit fps/uw gaming, Bethesda is at least more open towards modding, but they also don't make multiplayer games mainly, and while the MP aspects of FromSoft games are unusual, it's definitely a large part of the appeal/design process and does inherently limit modding due to cheating.

I guess that makes sense, if it's not that common ... but then ............ why go OUT OF YOUR WAY to make the experience worse? It's like, why didn't they just say "oh hey, they have a wide monitor, nice!" but instead they said "oh hey, they have wide monitor, GO FUCK YOURSELF"

It's not common, period, but because the people most likely to brag about a setup are those with more money than good sense, it gets misrepresented. Same deal with top of the line hardware – look at Steam surveys, most people are still gaming with 5+ year old hardware.

Ultrawides aren't even prohibitively expensive these days though, you can get a off brand uw for around $150-200

Don't HAVE TO go crazy with it and get a Samsung Odyssey or what have you :p
