What a gracious tweet. But Witcher 3 is my favourite game, followed closely by Elden Ring. Both are masterpieces. Don’t know about DLCs yet.
Unfortunately, gamers of the current times live in an era where the industry has been reduced to nothing but marketing gimmicks and over-hyped AAA titles, which makes rare moments like these even more special than they already are, giving a break to the cut-throat competition that has been brewing between the studios recently.

Being the largest expansion the studio has ever worked on, Hidetaka Miyazaki’s latest contribution to the DLC remains invaluable.
