I think im ok with both approaches. I have about 300 hours in Elden Ring and 100 in nightreign. About 2 weeks ago i re-downloaded Ds2 and im enjoying every second of it. So as long as what they put out has love and care put into it, ill be fine.
I can only speak for myself, i havnt played much since the everdarl sovereign's went on repeat rotation. Once the next one comes out on the 30th ill hop on to down it. Im sure alot of folks are just waiting for the new content.
