The fundamental problem stems from FromSoftware’s dissatisfaction with how Sony handled Demon’s Souls in its initial stages. As the smoke cleared and lava-like discussions emerged, Shuhei Yoshida, a former Sony executive, shed light on the strained relationship. He pointed to the developers’ disappointment over the game’s treatment, saying, “We hold Miyazaki in high regard and were able to collaborate with them again,” alluding to their later partnership on Bloodborne. This inconsistency caused confusion and fueled discussions among fans, leading one to remark, “You specifically created Dark Souls because Demon’s Souls was lost within Sony’s grasp.” It seems there’s a complex interplay of trust and indecision that left some gamers puzzled.
