Lol like Sony is gonna pay for 2+ million game sales.  If Sony was gonna go that they would have secured bigger exclusives like FFXV or MGSV, again think about this logically.  From walked away with the engine the first time.  I don't want another response of you posting your assumptions as facts, if you don't have any sources to back up what your saying don't bother responding. 

Demon's Souls ran off the Havok engine bro lol From didn't walk away with anything special plus Sony doesn't own the Demon's Souls IP, They alon with Atlus and Namco own it together. Sony paid off SFV so which is a much bigger franchise so why wouldn't the pay off Bloodborne? Lmao where do you come telling me what to do? You want facts? Here you go.

Demons Souls ran off a engine me and you could buy: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=demons%20souls%20engine

Sony owns the BloodBorne IP and assets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodborne

"The Bloodborne name and franchise is a product of Sony Computer Entertainment and parent company Sony Corportation. This includes all assets including the use of 'name' and technologies associated in the production of Bloodborne"

Do you what that means? That means Sony owns the game and everything used to create it. Ready At Dawn doesn't own the engine made to create The Order: 1886 do they? No they don't say the couldnt use it to make a multiplatform game. 


Sony do in fact own the Demon's Souls IP, it's just that third party publishers licensed it from Sony, Atlus in North America and Namco Bandai in Europe. Source: Sony Talks The Last Guardian, Demon's Souls, And The Vita Launch.

On the other hand From Software doesn't like multiplatform developing, but Namco Bandai who owns Dark Souls wanted the game on every console specially giving how strong was the 360 in NA, and then the game really caught the attention of PC gamers that clamoured for it and of course Namco Bandai obliged.

However I read that that From Software particularly hated developing for PC, so it's not completely unreasonable that they'll go back to developing exclusively for PlayStation specially now with how successful the PS4 is. I do think we should see Dark Souls 3 at least, multiplatform of course.

But what your not mentioning is how sony never even approached From take make Demons Souls at all. 3 different companies own the Demons Souls IP with SCEJ just happening to be the japanese one but SCEJ did nothing as far as developement. The Bottom line is Sony owns the Bloodborne IP and Assets. The actual appeal in working with From Software is so Sony can have an engine to make future Bloodborne titles for the PS4 not so From can take it and make more multiplat games. Again why do you say Bloodborne is From's game? It's not it's SCEJ games with From as a co developer. 

Your logic makes no sense...the way your saying it is Fromsoftware gets nothing out of this deal, hell they lose millions of sales by not releasing their game on PC and Xbox.  No one in their right mind would take that deal.  Take a step back and think about this logically. 


Actually you're the one that doesn't make sense, of course From Software gets something out of it, a ton of money for developing the games. They don't lose millions of sales by not releasing their game on PC and Xbox, because that's not their problem, they're a developer not a publisher.

Sony is the publisher here and they would gladly lose the sales on PC and Xbox.
