FromSoftware says Elden Ring’s popular Seamless Co-op mod is ‘definitely not something we actively oppose,’ and may even ‘consider ideas like that with our future games’

Fromsoft proving to be the best kind of devs.
It kinda undermines the actual game so… I’d feel different about it in a new game with similar combat mechanics that they actually marketed specifically as co-op/less difficult, but the mod is essentially splitting the community on PC as is.
If people don’t wanna play the game with phantoms or don’t want to challenge themselves as much that’s fine, maybe the game isn’t for you. But to the others who wanted the game the way it was supposed to be it’s a bait and switch.
Smart devs see successful mods as areas they should be improving.
Yeah, games with soulslike mechanics that have that sort of thing built in automatically get like an extra point for me. Like playing through Lords of the Fallen right now and I really appreciate how they made co-op work well (you can summon someone and they stay until leaving on their own or being kicked).
