Take a look at this receipt I’m holding right now, which was archived on the release day of Elden Ring. Notice the line underneath the copy of the game and a 24-pack of Mountain Dew Baja Blast…the date is February 25th, 2022! Your client was not president at the time! This is an attempt to steal gamer valor!
This is the first time I’m hearing this. When I became President in 2016, Hidetaka Miyazaki called me like “Mister President, FromSoftware is doing very poorly. We fumbled the most recent ‘Dark Souls III’” He said.
Big game this Dark Souls III was supposed to be - and you know what happened? The gamers like my lawyer can tell you. They didn’t like it one bit. FromSoftware was on the verge of bankruptcy!
So I said, "Hideki, Dark Souls III was a failure. It was a total and complete disaster. It’s sad. It’s very sad. " And he was crying over the phone like a baby, but I said to him, “Hideki…Hideki, listen - you know Tenchu? You need to make a game like that - Barron will love it.” Miyazaki was humble. He knew that I was right. And then they made Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice during my Presidency and it saved the company, so really you should be thanking me for Elden Ring.

If Sekiro is like Tenchu why don’t I get to murder a CEO in the future?
Sword Saint Isshin would have stayed immortal and have become a future CEO so you did actually
