That's a stupid analogy. You won't see any stapled pamphlets, typo-ridden manuscripts, or flyers for sale at a bookstore. Some of those may be given away, with no strings attached, but never sold. People who try to stock the shelves with their handmade crap will get escorted to the door.

In other words, FromSoft is kicking ass; other Kadokawa game companies, not so much.

Name another company that has ever released only games worthy of a 90+ score for over a decade? starting with Demon's Souls, nothing but 90+s...even DS2 was a great game.
