FromSoft’s games have been on my ‘I will buy anything they release’ list for quite some time, and I’ve never been disappointed with one. There’s not much at this point that would get me to stop buying their stuff on release, but a PlayStation account sign-in requirement on PC would definitely accomplish it.

I think you’re not seeing your situation clearly here. There’s a big chance their games will become PlayStation exclusives like Bloodborne. Might be ported to PC after a few years.
I’m a little hopeful that Sony is going to get better at PC support. The Japanese PC gaming market has doubled in size a few times in the last 10 years but companies at Sony’s scale can be slow to adapt. Maybe it’ll take them another 10 years but I think eventually they’ll give up on exclusives.
This will have impacts, I just don’t think it’ll be as bad as everyone is thinking. Corporate Japan can be equally hands on and hands off. Fromsoft may be allowed to keep on chugging because they make money.
Gross. Sony’s stance on PC ports is shit. Massively delayed releases, still at full price, mandatory PS logins. Gross :/
I wish Sony would just back off. It’s clear that they’re willing to drag their studios through mud to push PSN and other stupid requirements, and I hope any new studios they try to acquire will be paying attention to that.
I have a feeling their intention here is less about acquiring FromSoftware and more about getting those anime production houses so they can continue to monopolize the industry. FromSoftware would be a happy accident.
