Who else doesnt mind a Souls game every year?

They're too long to release yearly in my opinion. I would stop buying them unless the games were exceptional compared to their predecessors, as I really don't have the time to put 40-80 hours into a souls game every year that plays very much like the previous title. Plus they don't change enough for yearly releases. Bi-yearly would be okay, but I think 3-4 years between release would be good. Make the next game bigger and better. Dark Souls 3 is great, but it isn't enough of a departure from Dark Souls and Dark Souls II for me to justify its sequel being next year.

you dont have to buy them every year

Sure I don't have to, but like I said: I'd rather they put more time and effort into development and innovations than to fall into the Pokemon trap of incremental changes. And if a lot of people are like me, the sales can slouch. Look at Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty - both much bigger series than Souls that have slowed down a bit due to yearly releases. You might be alright with a yearly Dark Souls game now, but if it means the series stagnates (like these series had) then your tune might change.

I will also like to add that I don't consider Bloodborne and Demon's Souls to be a problem if they come between Dark Souls releases in a yearly fashion. They are different enough from Dark Souls to merit a separate release schedule.
