Didn't read the entire thread at all I see?

Bloodborne is equivilent of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_(art)

Bloodborne is exclusive title to Sony because they know the Souls series has a cult following and people will buy Playstation 4s just to play this title. So when Mr. Jim Ryan claims that Sony doesn't need to buy exclusivity that comes with a HUGE ASTERISK. You can spin it nany way you want...

Read up on Demon's Souls and how Sony was originally dismissive of the game until it became a success. Now Sony is back with hat in hand asking From to make an exclusive spiritual successor

Okay, so that is the mentality behind it. It's not 'Buying an exclusive.' All businesses spend into trends, there's loads of new F2P MOBAs since LoL became big. There was a run of military shooters after CoD became big. And cover shooters were all the rage after Gears made it cool.

It's really just making a game, no different to Sunset Overdrive. And just as good business.

Hmm, pie.
