[alt text: two frames from Spongebob, edited into a meme with extra images and text. The first frame shows Mr. Krabs, labeled “Sony”, who is surrounded by different Playstation games, including The Last of Us, Spider-Man, God of War, and Ghost of Tsushima. Mr. Krabs is saying, “All of you, off to PC!”. In the second frame, all of the games have left, except for Bloodborne. Mr. Krabs/“Sony” is pointing at Bloodborne and saying, “Except you, stay.”]

      I want to pay them for Bloodborne on PC, but Sony won’t let me! Sounds like that’s their choice/ problem.

        eeeexactly. Love when a corporation induces artificial scarcity and it comes back to bite them in the ass. Now granted…most people that want to play bloodborne on PC probably already paid for the PS4 version, so all Sony is really missing out on is EXTRA money. Or maybe they’re just hoping Bloodborne Remake 2028 will be a PS6 system seller.

          It’s the only explanation. Sony are sitting on the IP to sell as an exclusive later down the line. It would be financially stupid of them to release a 60fps patch, even paid, for the PS5 at this point.
