I would question how good Elden Ring's use of EAC actually is.

Given that -at launch-

* Players who were using a Japanese locale couldn't play the game unless they removed EAC

* Removing EAC substantially reduced the amount of incredibly noticeable hitching and stuttering

my hunch is that EAC was hastily slapped on very, very late in the process due to demands from some US-based PHB.
