This kind of sounds like relgating Bluepoint to a support studio. This doesn't seem worth the expense for Nintendo, when they already have established teams/ partners for this, and doesn;t seem worth it for BP, who were looking to start making their own games.
Bluepoint did not want to do remakes anymore. They also didn't want to co-develop games (like they did with Demons Soul). Obviously, them being acquired was contigent on these plans. Why else would Sony need to buy a studio if their sole purpose was to remake games? There are tons of studios that are capable of doing this.

The fact that they pitched doing a remake in 2025 shows that they're willing and able. I wouldn't state a studios preference as some hard stance against potential work. Once they were bought by Sony they had options and they went for those options, and adapted once their game was cancelled. Clearly the team was more interested in being employed then being ultra picky about what they worked on.

to be fair, I never suggested otherwise. I'm merely answering the question as to why they were acquired. Naturally, things can change.
