It’s genuinely astonishing how terrible they are at making a multiplayer game. Their anti-cheat barely functions, to the point where they had to take three of their games offline for nearly a year because people could take control of your computer through their games. They are so bad at making multiplayer games that it presents an actual security threat for their users.

The vast majority of invaders are smurfs who use endgame equipment to deal half of your health bar in a single hit and the game does more or less nothing to stop this from happening. From Software even somehow managed to pull off something I previously thought was impossible: creating an even worse netcode than Nintendo, ping in the thousands isn’t uncommon and you can experience several seconds of delay while playing multiplayer.

From Software needs to make invasions opt-in or they need to actually create a multiplayer game that isn’t a steaming pile of shit. As it currently stands I think they might be the single worst developer in the entire AAA industry at making multiplayer games.
