Off-brand Bloodborne as a Nintendo exclusive is such a choice

Nin must have made this deal before Elden Ring blew up...
I imagine making and exclusive deal now would be very hard for any platform to do with FromSoft

While I think you are right on the deal being done a while ago, if Nintendo went to FromSoft first and did a commission, FromSoft as a business was probably happy to take it, Elden Ring success or not.

Was so excited for essentially bloodborne 2. Now people are saying its multiplayer only, i.e. nothing like Dark Souls/Bloodborne games levels? My disappointment is immeasurable.

This is the game that sold me to Switch 2. Spiritual sucessor to Bloodborne coming next year gives plenty of time to organize finances before buying the Switch 2, also time for having more meaningful first party offers

Sony only owns 10%.... enough for a board seat but nowhere close to real decision-making control

Also, this deal was likely made wayyyyy before Sony bought that 10%

Sony owns 10% of Kadokawa, but they additionally own 14% of FromSoft directly.
