How does FromSoftware release AAA games so frequently? Elden Ring boss says "we are just blessed with a great staff" that the studio empowers and retains (www.gamesradar.com)

It really comes down to money more than anything. Quality factors in very little. More marketing, higher budgets, larger teams.

I agree and disagree at the same time here. AAA should and used to signify a higher level of quality. Lately, though, it seems like they finally realized they could shovel shit and still turn a buck.

Yeah it definitely should be higher quality with all that money, but like you said, the rot of corporatism really fucks that up.
