Has Sony made FromSoftware a well respected studio?

So...essentially Sony Japan and SSM deserve zero credit for helping numerous studios help their games even when they were in limbo. If it wasnt for their help and expertise most of these studios would've failed or not made as great a product.

What does Sony Santa Monica have to do with this thread and this situation?

Are you like.. 16 and too young to know that From Software has been around for 20 years on consoles?

You're getting defensive because it's Sony, but the bolded is hilarious. So while you're asking about credit, the title of the thread implies that it's actually From Software that deserves no credit. They made lots of good games before Demon's Souls. Have went on to make a bigger IP than Demon's Souls after it came out. Been making console games for 20 years. But no no, they only just recently became a "respected studio" because Sony Japan helped in some way with developing one of their games. LOL

No. Its mostly From Softwares games. I am stating that Sony has helped numerous studios either halfway or help them finish their titles. I used SSM because SSM serve the same purpose as Sony Japan. They help studios for quality assurance to finish games because the game is being published under Sony's name. Sony don't just pick random companies and just pay them. More often than not they would be help them or else their studios that help the third party would actually be making their own IP's.
