Shareholders need to be rounded up and thrown into the sun.

Too expensive. Volcanos are more accessible.

Use a portion of the shareholders' own wealth to fund it. There will still be plenty left to provide food and shelter for the rest of humanity.

One of the fund’s main criticisms concerns the commercial management of Elden Ring. While the game has been a major success worldwide, Oasis believes Kadokawa failed to fully benefit from that success.

Huh??? They made a very successful DLC, a very successful spinoff game, a licensed manga, and a Hollywood movie coming up. What more do they want them to do?

The next paragraph after that one:

The game is published directly by FromSoftware in Japan, but overseas distribution is handled by Bandai Namco. According to the investment fund, this arrangement resulted in a “material profit leakage” for the company.

So, it sounds like they're unhappy that Kadokawa let Bandai Namco take a cut.

"yes we made a lot of money, but we could've made more!"

That doesn't mean fire him, that means spell on getting to get the distrobution rights. Punishing someone for unrealized capital is foolish, they proved they can make money and make a product people want.

Micro transactions probably

Wait 10 minutes to revive or buy the season pass and respawn instantly.

Skip the boss for only €4.99.

Buy the "Elden Lord" pack to get the best armor in the game.

Buy the loot box with .00001% chance of a fully upgraded weapon.
