Petition to Bring Bloodborne to PC Claims From Software “Betrayed” Gamers

CraveOnline: "A Change.org petition to bring Bloodborne to the PC has nearly garnered its required number of signatures, with its creator claiming that developer From Software has “betrayed” PC gamers by releasing their latest title exclusively on the PS4."

[jonny2by4]

Pathetic

[lelo2play]

"Pathetic"

I agree.
Since Sony produced the game, I highly doubt it will come to the PC. Sony's single player games very rarely reach the PC.
If it was Microsoft, maybe it could get released on the PC.

EDIT:
@ThunderPulse
"PLANETSIDE 2, DC UNIVERSE, EVERQUEST"
Those are not single player games.

"Sony's single player games very rarely reach the PC."

[ThunderPulse]

PLANETSIDE 2, DC UNIVERSE, EVERQUEST

[Death]

Bloodborne isn't single player though. There is a co-op and PvP mode.

With Sony selling off Sony Online Entertainment I doubt we will see much PC support if any though.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

@Tunder
@Death

It doesn't have to do anything with being SP or MP. Those games listed above were made by SOE, which they were PC first guys even thought they were owned by Sony. Those games would have never been released on the Bone with Sony as SOE parent, but now they aren't, and they will release games on Xbox.

What Lelo basically tried to say is that Sony doesn't release PS4 games on PC. Seriously people, get all the consoles if you don't want to feel ''Betrayed.''

[yewles1]

"PLANETSIDE 2, DC UNIVERSE, EVERQUEST"

Those aren't Sony anymore.

[imt558]

@Thunderpulse

Ex SOE was NOT UNDER Sony WWS!

[blitz0623]

The funny part is if the game didn't get great reviews there would be no such petition. You'd just hear 'you console gamers can keep that garbage'

[MysticStrummer]

@ThunderPulse - Those games were on PC first and made by the former Sony Online Entertainment.

OT - lol @ "betrayed".

[Gamer1982]

Also those games were SOE although Sony in name they were NOT Sony games just backed by Sony they were more 3rd party than 1st.

[JasonKCK]

"Those aren't Sony anymore." I'm not sure but I think that was his/her point.

[nX]

Hillarious, seems like people have no idea how these things work. As long as the intellectual property belongs to Sony, you will never see this game on any other platform. You can either keep dreaming or just buy a PS4 if you want to play it.

[starchild]

I have Bloodborne for my PS4 and it is a fantastic game. I'd definitely prefer to play it on my PC, but it's not available there. It is what it is.

That said, I don't condone this behavior among the platform holders. I don't agree with Microsoft buying timed exclusivity to Rise of the Tomb Raider, nor do I agree with Sony buying exclusivity to a third party game in a popular, former multi-platform series.

Sure, Bloodborne has a different name and setting along with some gameplay differences, but for all intents and purposes it's a spiritual successor in the Souls series. It's going to appeal to most of the same people. Now, instead of From Software's forth Souls-like game being able to be enjoyed by gamers on the platform they enjoyed the Dark Souls games on it's locked to only one platform due to an exclusivity deal.

Still, I don't feel betrayed, I simply don't agree with the practice of console makers buying exclusivity to third party games.

[morganfell]

Sony didn't buy exclusivity for Bloodborne. If the game was being made and paid for by From Software and Sony said, "Hey, we will pay you to make that exclusive or timed exclusive" then I would agree to your point. That isn't the case with Bloodborne. Bloodborne would not have been made had Sony not put forward the development funds.This was cooperative development paid for by Sony and their involvement with Miyazaki began before development commenced.

[mikeslemonade]

I think it comes to PC in 3 years. That's just my prediction. It's great to have exclusives over multiplatform. The load times would be even better on the PC. However I will be playing BB2 by then!

[bmf7364]

Even so, those games listed are from what used to be Sony Online Entertainment. They're third party now and took their IP's with them.

[mep69]

Technically not a single player game.

[Sevir]

Lol. PC gamers pipe down. The game isn't being made solely by From Software. It's an IP owned by Sony Computer Entertainment , Sony Japan formed a relationship with From Software to create bloodborne. That partnership was forged when Sony Japan and From Software co developed Demon's Souls. It's the same thing.

The whole reason why Dark Soul's exist is because of Demon's Souls surprise popularity.

If you PC gamers want to fund a Dark Souls 3 go buy Dark Souls 2.

[LordMaim]

@mikeslemonade: It will probably take as long as it did for Demon's Souls to come out for PC.

[SnakeCQC]

Ms doesnt really care for pc gamers otherwise the halo collection would be out. Sony has a ton of games like hiz1 that are only on pc atm.

[k3rn3ll]

SCEA is different than SOE.

Planetside, DC Univers, and Everquest are SOE games. Those games were developed specifically for PC and is why they are there and sometimes come to PS.

SOE almost always are restricted to PS platforms. I cant think of any off the top of my head but there are a couple.

Also- Bloodborne is a multiplayer game as well. Just not a online only multipplayer game like the others

It's funny because for years alot of PC gamers complained about MS keeping exclusives exclusive to Xbox and not coming to windows. Now that almost all of their exclusives are coming to PC at some point people complain about games NOT being exclusive to xbox. Its a damned if you do damned if you dont situation. Like so many things in this industry are.

[AliTheSnake1]

And half of them will pirate it.

[UltraNova]

@WTFSTFUGDIAF

"I don't get why PC gamers think they make everything better because you can mod PC games."

You forgot the "my GPU is bigger, badder, stronger than yours" statement...

@Starchild

BB has more in common with Demons (a ps3 exclusive)than it has with DS if its any help to you. And I don't recall you 'expressing your feelings' about Sunset Overdrive's identical deal.

[extermin8or]

@ultra nova: sunset overdrive deal wasn't identical Microsoft don't own the IP. For bloodborne Sony do. Honestly this game came because of the Relationship SCEJ had with from software from demon's souls. Had they not messed up predictions on its popularity and given it worldwide distribution then Dark Souls would have been ps exclusive aswell I imagine. Dark souls 2 was made by a different team, mkyazaki clearly likes working with Sony as it appears to allow him a certain amount of creative freedom companies like Namco bandi clearly didn't allow.

[XB1_PS4]

I don't even need it on PC. Normally I would rather play on PC because I like those frame rates and pixels, but Bloodborne plays great on PS4. I really don't care if it comes to PC or not. That said, petty petitions like this are childish. The game will go where it goes. The PS4. The IP is owned by Sony. They're not letting it go.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

More to the point re: ThunderPulse. Those are MMO's which were made for PC by the FORMER SOE, not by SCE.

[WellyUK]

It's not SOE anymore it's Daybeak Games... Expect to see PS2 and H1z1 on multiplatform.

[Brotard]

I'm so sick of seeing this, from software did nothing wrong they CODEVELOPED (it wasnt just from anyway, japan studios helped) a game with funds from sony. Its also sonys ip, if you are sooo butthurt get a ps4, thats why its exclusive, to sell ps4s. And the whole sony releases games on pc why not this.... well if you didn't know sony just sold its pc development studio. they have officially moved away from pc.

These kind of people taint the word gamer for me.

@stapleface, just because a company developed a game for a system you can't change settings on doesn't mean they betrayed you.

@bc_master_haze no its not people like your friend that im upset about, its the people claiming from software has BETRAYED them. From has always worked closely with sony anyway

[Stapleface]

I have a ps4. Believe it or not there are logical reasons other than the childish "butthurt" logic that your mind comprehends. Options come to mind. You know in the settings how in most games you can change from 1080p to 1440p, increase AA, etc..oh wait...

@Brotard I never said they did. That's the person writing the article. I'd agree with you, that no it doesn't mean that at all.

[BC_Master_Haze]

While I understand your point, it is Sony's IP and petitioning it to come to PC is about as pointless as petitioning Uncharted to come to PC, I don't think you can blame them for trying. They made their case, but it's not happening, no harm done. I'm sure there are extreme "Master Race" gamers in there, they're probably who wrote that they feel betrayed by FromSoftware.

But you see my friend signed this petition, simply because he doesn't have a PS4, just XB1 and PC, and I don't think that's someone who's tainting the word gamer. He said if it comes down to it (and it will) he's getting a PS4 for this game.

[Loktai]

@Stapleface

I just dont get the logic, not saying you specifically but in general what is with this feeling of entitlement. Why dont you see this shit happening over Mario games, or where is the petition to bring any of the other big console exclusives... last of us?

Im a PC gamer myself, its this mentality people get . PC gamers are like guys who own V8 trucks, its capable of more and has a load of torque and look down on someone with a civic or a subaru or something- in an actual race the civic or subaru might win but they're looking at specs, numbers and overall capability. They want the game and they'll spend 500 on a video card and 300 on ram, but not 300-400 on a console to play a game they're willing to whine so much about that they will make a stinkin petition.

I understand "options" but 1080p is fine, the game was designed to run on PS4 and it runs well, and the double standard IS REAL because look, PC gamers love love love indie games and are willing to play those , even on a high end PC they'll play smaller indie games "because its fun" and why because its on PC, then when its a console game looking a load better than any indie game at any resolution because its still a pixelated mess at 1440p, they whine and want a petition.

MY advice to these individuals is for the amount of time you'd be waiting for a port just wait, the game will be there in a year- it probably wont happen, 99% wont happen but if it doesnt by then a PS4 will probably be 250 used and the game will be 40, if you care THAT Much you have options and its not the only game worth owning a PS4 for at all, if you dont have anything else to play in the meantime Im sorry.

[Ickythump31]

@Loktai I agree with you 100% but at the end of the day people just like to complain.

[Morpheuzpr]

Stupid people are always the most opinionated. They don't understand From software and Sony's relationship. Basically the way they work together is that Sony is paying for From Software's game engine development. In return they get exclusivity for the first game they make with it. It was that way with Demon Souls and now it's the same for Blood Born.

[Agrim]

Omg I was just going to post that xD

[wolf581]

they betrayed their self for not buying a console and stick with their pc..so stop crying like a 5 years old and go get a ps4, this is the only way to play bloodborne and many more to come....just like i got wiiu for zelda and x1 for halo....

[Clunkyd]

@Wolf I completely agree.

"Master Race" begging for games, Isn't that what "peasants" would do? GG
I thought the PC platform had the biggest library of PC exclusives. Oh I see, You want quality.

Sorry, I'm not knocking PC gamers. This is a straight jab to PC elitists.

[starchild]

Ok, there's nothing wrong with wanting good games on your preferred platform. Especially when it's from a third party developer whose games you've already enjoyed on said platform.

And if there is something wrong with it, I don't want to see Playstation owners asking for The Witcher, Witcher 2, Star Citizen or any other PC game.

[Christopher]

***Especially when it's from a third party developer whose games you've already enjoyed on said platform. ***

Just because a third-party developed it, doesn't make it a third-party game. It's a first-party title. Let's not act obtuse on that regard.

[rainslacker]

@star

wanting a game, and claiming that the dev "betrayed the gamers" are two entirely different things.

I doubt most people would have much issue with the petition itself, as useless as it is, if it had left out the entitled accusatory tone of the nature of the petition.

[Genuine-User]

Most of the people signing this petition are either clueless or pretentious.

[Christopher]

Only two out of more than 50 games made it to PC that were developed by From Software.

Was this the straw that broke the camel's back or are people just uninformed and whiny?

[starchild]

That's not true. Ninja Blade is on PC and I'm sure there are others as well.

And why wouldn't Souls fans on PC be disappointed that Bloodborne is not available on their platform?

It's not that surprising. Whether anybody should sign a petition over it is another subject altogether.

[Christopher]

***And why wouldn't Souls fans on PC be disappointed that Bloodborne is not available on their platform? ***

Disappointed is different than "betrayed" and creating a pointless petition when Sony owns the IP and paid for the game to be made. It's not like From Software went to Sony and said "we want to make a game" and Sony said "fine, but only if it's PS4 only." What happened is Sony approached From Software to make a game on their platform and they paid for it.

I'd love to see Sunset Overdrive on PS4 and PC. I don't feel betrayed. MS gave them what they wanted and it's why the game was made at all. There is no betrayal here, only the best way for the game to be made at all.

And, the mass majority of From Software games, at least 90%, are not available on PC. I went quickly through the list and only two were even listed for PC. Could have missed a handful of others, but I also undersold how many they've made.

[Criti-Choco]

@starchild

The same thing happened with Demon Souls, that also never got a port which is why Dark Souls was made, Bloodborne will probably get another counterpart in later years but I doubt it will ever be worth the time petitioning for this one to be ported.

[starchild]

To be clear, I think the petition is pointless. Sony published the game and owns the brand, it's highly unlikely they would release it on PC.

I also think that using terms like "betrayed" is silly and overly dramatic.

However, if people want to vent their frustrations or feel like they are being heard by signing a petition then let them. I don't have any problem with that in and of itself.

I don't think From Software, or any other company, OWES me something. They don't. Nevertheless, I do have ideas about how I would prefer them to operate. I don't like when Sony or Microsoft buy exclusivity to games made by third party developers. I'm consistent about this.

I think Sony and Microsoft should focus on bringing fresh content from their internal studios. If they want more internal studios I think they should hire, staff and build them from the ground up, not buy up established studios with fanbases on other platforms.

I know that whenever one of these third party exclusivity situations crops up fans of the console getting the exclusivity usual come up with all kinds of reasons why this time it's really different. But I honestly don't put much stock into those excuses. The developers and publishers always try to make it sound like the partnership was essential to the creation of the game, but I'd be willing to bet in most cases it's just rhetoric.

I think a very probable scenario in the case of Bloodborne is that Sony saw how successful the Souls games were and went to From Software and asked if they could get exclusivity to the next game in the series. From Software probably said no, so Sony suggested that they make a very similar game but with a different name. The idea was acceptable to From Software and terms were agreed upon. Then they make the announcement and, to assuage the frustrations of fans on other platforms, they make all these proclamations about how the partnership was vital to the creation of the game and how it wouldn't be possible on any other platform.

But, you know, that's business. It's not a huge deal, I simply don't prefer for that kind of thing to happen.

[Kidmyst]

Whiny self entitled gamers these days. But that gives me an idea, I should start a petition to bring Zelda to PC now so I don't have to buy a Wii U.

[nitus10]

You can get the NES, SNES, N64 as well as Gameboy roms and play them by emulator however this is illegal so unless you have a peg-leg and a green parrot on your shoulder don't do it ;-)

[RedDeadLB]

I agree in a sense that this is the bitchiest form of asking for PC support.

There is no betrayal in the gaming industry, there is only business.
I'm all for as many games as possible coming to PC since I'm primarily a PC gamer, but I won't be supporting this petition. It's disrespectful, it's unprofessional and, as you've said, a pathetic attempt.

[Aceman18]

I'll just say to them good luck with it lol.

[magiciandude]

PC gamers brighter than this far outnumber a couple random kids writing up some crybaby petition. This doesn't reflect the entire PC gamer community.

[Loktai]

True, I game on whatever is near me at the time, PC console or mobile. Some people base their self worth over the platform it seems. Definitely not me or most of the people I know but some people are really convinced console games are akin to mobile games and are unplayable and anyone gaming on a console is an idiot... thats only a minority- but its a LOUD Minority.

[BG11579]

Agreed. Most PC supporters are always bragging about how the PC has more exclusives than consoles. It's pathetic to see them act like that...

Do the Gods envy the peasants over one game?

[NuggetsOfGod]

Honesty if I see more and more games like bloodbourne I will get a ps4 next to my pc.

Obviously this not coming to pc lol

If it was an xbox game maybe.

Least pc gamers get no mans, sf5 and hellblade.

To have every game be on your platform of choice would be great but won't happen.

I'll see what ps4 is looking like down the road.

Bloodbourne is a potenial system seller for me.

[MRMagoo123]

Well I find my gaming needs are completely satisfied having a gaming pc and ps4. Pc for games like skyrim with mods, rts and turn based and the ps4 for games I can't get anywhere else.

[DemonChicken]

Going by this logic I should create a petition for every PS4/PC/Wii U/X1/PS3/360/3DS/VITA exclusive game that doesn't come to PS4/PC/Wii U/X1/PS3/360/3DS/VITA =)

[pixelsword]

Why do they want it? It's not 60fps, 1080p; the criteria they keep on bashing other console exclusive games for not being.

[reversial]

It would be.

[Loktai]

@reversial

It COULD be.

_____________________________ __
Fixed it for you.
Depends on the rig doesnt it? Look at unity,
it ran like shit on all platforms and obviously a higher end PC is going to run it better but just saying, PC Doesnt automatically mean "runs well" on every rig.

[GamingTruth]

I don't know about 'would be' or 'could be' despite the pc no matter how much anyone could put in it unless sony themselves made the hardware, some people overestimate on paper specs; which is why I suspect its automatically, "pc could run it better."

But people forget despite pc having so many new gpus and cpus and hardwares; the little "weakling" ps4 is made by sony, which is a movie making company; and are Japanese.

I don't think anything on sony platforms or even Microsoft platforms will just look better on pc; unless pc was the primary lead platform in the first place for a particular games engine or else we would see a order 1886 or driveclub level game in graphics on pc by now.

[MadLad]

That statement is pathetic, but so are the reactions to it. That statement is not representative of PC gamers as even a majority. Let alone a whole.
The average gamer does, indeed, get the concept of exclusives and the idea of those who pay for a title's existence being the deciding factor of what to do with it.
This shouldn't be turned into the "F**k PC gamers" s**t show that N4G let it become.

The comment is immature . . . but so is the response, from what I've seen.

[Corpser]

While you're there also sign the petition to bring Titanfall and Tomb Raider to ps4, yes there's a petition for every game that's not on every platform

[hiredhelp]

As PC Gamer this is just stupid so we got dark souls, this is a new IP for sony only I dont see xbox getting it eaither jees.

[masa2009]

Pretty dumb yes, but no more pathetic than the thousands of console gamers whining about Bayonetta 2 not being on their platform of choice and calling Platinum sellouts.

[hiredhelp]

Yeh but bayonetta first hit both consoles was well recieved did very well, So i can see why many were supprised no2 being Nintendo only.

[Mr_Writer85]

Bloodborne is a new IP

Bayonetta was multiplatform, in fact despite the awful port, the PS3 version sold the most.

So after supporting a new IP, only to find a shitty port of the 360 version, and then told that you won't be able to buy the sequal.

I think I can at least see the point of those who bought it on PS3's frustration.

[masa2009]

Mr_Writer85 Your frustration doesn't make insults directed at Platinum any less dumb.
Sega would not fund a sequel.
Sony could have stepped to the plate and did not.
Nintendo did, making the game possible.
End of story.
A developer will try to find the best possible publishing partner, and if the publisher demands exclusivity in exchange of their development support, that's what will happen.

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Yup, almost as pathetic as when PS4 gamers were saying MS betrayed gamers with tomb raider, oh how quickly we forget. Its okay though, i'm just happy PS4 finally got a worthwhile game. Next is uncharted in 2016, i'll buy one then for XV and KH3 as well assuming they don't get announced for PC.

[Conzul]

lol, since when were PS4 gamers so IN LOVE with Tomb Raider? None of us felt betrayed at all.

Some people voiced some *minor annoyance - nothing on par with these whiney pc gamers ( who will shell out $1k+ on a good rig but not $400 on a PS4 which will have the same gfx as a $1k rig)

[Big_Game_Hunters]

@conzul i'm not going to argue with someone that has bad memory or won't accept the truth.

also 1k rigs aren't running games at 900p unstable 30 frames lol

[GamingTruth]

yeah big_game_huners,

I mean who would want a pc which cant even run a game with wet clothing and hair physics and snow and sand erosion and footprint technology from the ps3 LAST generation, let alone anything near driveclub and order 1886 and even killzone shadowfall graphics or even infamous ss graphics ingame

[kenshiro100]

Oh cry me a river.

This situation with Bloodborne is way different from Tomb Raider. Don't try to compare the two please.

[Elvick]

That's not "PS4" gamers. It's Tomb Raider fans. Which includes gamers who play on PS3 (since Rise is on 360 too), PS4 and PC.

That's not the same situation. Rise of Tomb Raider was always going to be made. They said the next TR was in development already not that long after the reboot came out. And there was no question there'd be another one. It's Tomb Raider, it's iconic.

The series was with PlayStation and PC from the very beginning. So the fact that Eidos/SE would make that deal is in fact pretty crappy thing to do to their long time fans on those platforms.

MS gets a game they were already getting. SE gets a pay check. And long time fans on PlayStation and PC are left waiting a year or more until they can play the game.

Bloodborne, is the second spiritual successor of Demon's Souls. A PS3 exclusive collaboration between Sony Japan Studio and From Software. Which is what Bloodborne is as well.

Sony funded and co-developed Demon's Souls and Bloodborne. They own the IPs, helped create and funded their existence.

Not the same thing at all.

[NegativeCreep427]

Totally pathetic. BloodBorne is produced by SCE, so T.S. for all these PC gamers that supposedly feel "betrayed".

But just to show that I'm not too insensitive, Let's all have a moment of silence and play a little violin for all those poor little Alpha PC gamers that NOW realize that buying a $400 game console over a $1000+ PC rig has it's definite advantages...

http://gifrific.com/wp-cont...

[Azzanation]

I guess its not pathetic when Petitions came out for Titanfall, Bayonetta 2, Rise of the Tomb Raider etc.

Do I care if it's on PC? No.

[ShaunCameron]

Indeed. And you'd think that PC gamers be happy with what they already get for exclusives. SMH

[DLConspiracy]

Personally the over generalizing in the comments below is unnecessary. Everyone is a gamer.

These petitions do not represent the sum of any platform or the general sum of its gamers. Petitions have been made from every platform including PS4, Xbox and so on. Stop hating each other because a person happens to game on something different than you.

[tawak]

Pc master race, wants peasant console game eh?

[_-EDMIX-_]

Sad...so what your telling me is that the PC fans don't know that Sony owns the IP?

If they are such fans....why don't they own a PS3 to play Demon Souls?

The deep, deep lolz....

[krypt1983]

Who is pathetic is you and the 276 agrees you have why are pc gamers pathetic because they want a game on the pc? i bet most of you loyalist live very sad jealous insecure lives. You guys don't have to worry though it's common sense to know that bloodborne will stay exclusive to the ps4 because it's the last exclusive game from software owes sony due to the demon souls contract. Im glad the sony platform is not my main gaming console you guys are miserable little kids more like entitled brats, i could give a shit less about the niche bloodborne/souls game if you have played one of them you have played all of them, weak combat with horrible timing to make the game hard but this time you will be watching a loading screen more then you will be playing. They couldn't even take the time to change the shitty ui from all these games they just paste new paths in a new hub world and new skins on bosses and you chumps praise it such a sad time in gaming...

[cutthroatslim]

The butthurt is strong with you my son, go forth and seek a very strong hemroid cream :D

[kingduqc]

I like the idea of being able to play the games I want on the platform I want (aka bloodborn on pc :P) but saying that from software "betrayed" gamers... I'll have to agree with you.

[joab777]

Yeah, you do have the right to play it. Go buy a PS4. Thats why Sony did this.

How about, you get Bloodborne and I get every PC title I want on a PS4. Oh wait. I have a PC.

[showtimefolks]

not gonna happen but a ps4 if you want to play it bad enough, sony owns the IP and funded the game.

its like saying uncharted 4 should be coming to pc

[Bathyj]

Yeah, pathetic, but also hilarious?

Do people even know how the Souls games started?

Im not a fan so I dont recall from memory and please correct me if Im wrong, but as I see it (through wikipedia) Demon Souls came first. Published by Sony Computer Entertainment and Codeveloped by From Software and SCE Japan Studio. Much the same as Bloodborne. It was exclusive to PS3 and Im guessing the reason for that is Sony owns the IP. I'm also assuming it was Sony who invented this IP and turned to From Software to do the bulk of the work while lending a hand with Japan Studio so From wouldnt struggle so with the hardware. Again, much like Bloodborne.

Then came Dark Souls. Again, Im speculating based on what Im reading but it seems to me that From Software, happy with their new success and fame, decided since they couldnt make a new Demon Souls without being stuck on PS3 only again, decided to shop around, get another publisher and make a new game but simply call it Dark Souls to circumvent the copyright. It seems a bit cheeky, maybe even actionable legally but I guess no one cared enough to do anything about it and Sony and From Software probably had a good relationship with each other so that was that.

If anything PC gamers and Xbox gamers should be thanking Sony they got to play a Souls game at all since they were the catalyst for From Softwares most critically acclaimed series.

Flash forward to present day and history has repeated itself. Sony wanted to make a game, and they said lets ask our old buddies From to do it since it turned out so well before. Of course now were getting people without Playstations crying about not getting the game, and implying this is somehow the same thing as MS buying Tombraider (an established franchise born on a competitors machine,) and accusing From of being sellouts.

If my recount of the history is even close to correct, I think neither Sony nor From has done anything wrong here, and these whiners should be buying them a big fat apology cake for ever getting something which they now miss.

So in summary, Bloodborne is not a sequel. Its a new IP. A spiritual sequel yes, but Sony commissioning From to make it was no different to From making Dark Souls in the first place and basically copy catting a game (they made) but that none the less belonged to someone else. If anything the Series has come home to where it started so i dont see how anyone can be crying foul on this, unless they are simply not students of history.

[Aither]

I am sorry but this has to be said. I am a PC gamer as much as the next person, but this petition is really sad. Let's point out the facts of why OP is correct in calling this pathetic.

PC's gamers always bash the console gamers due to their superior graphics, longer run of titles, and cheaper costs on ports, and the ones who brag about the cheaper costs are the ones who usually pirate games like Dark Souls and would be Bloodeborne if they had it.

Seriously there PC gamers always brag how their $2000.00 machine can produce graphics two times better than a $400.00 system, yet they cry and put up this immature petition cause they cannot afford something cheaper than a single part in their entire machine?

PC gamers criticize console exclusives claiming them to be inferior to anything the PC has to offer (and in some ways they are correct), but low and behold here comes a PS4 exclusive game that receives a vast amount of praise from critics and all of a sudden PC gamers are crying over their keyboards because they cannot have a Sony exclusive title. After all the bashing, all the showboating, all the "PC is master because you have no games" and now all of a sudden one PS4 exclusive and a game developer has "betrayed" them?

How selfish can a whole console fanbase be? This goes beyond the childish antics of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo fanboy's as this is absolutely positively pathetic. After decades of PC fanboy's claiming to be the master race when it comes to games and now they feel "betrayed" because a company paid for for an exclusive to be developed which is why it saw the light of day?

Hey PC gamers, news flash you are entitled to NOTHING! If you wanted Bloodborne to come to PC than before Sony paid for it to be developed for the exclusive rights, than every PC gamer should have put their money into a Kickstarter program to support From Software to develop Bloodborne for the PC.

Let's not forget though that a lot of PC gamers feel so entitled that they brag about how they download games for free, and the same would've been said for Bloodborne. So why should From Software feel any sort of loyalty towards PC gamers?

With this said I am a PC gamer. I have a PC that could more than handle a higher textured Bloodborne than what the PS4 could offer. I enjoy playing on my PC more than my consoles since the PS4 was released because it has great games on it which are exclusive only to the PC, but you don't see any console fanboy's claiming that they were "betrayed" because they didn't get any of the PC "AAA" exclusives. I am happy that Sony paid for Bloodborne to be made, and I am glad that it turned out to be a great exclusive for the PS4 which was well needed. So PC fanboy's can shove their game stealing torrent downloading petition up where the sun doesn't shine, cry a river and know if you want to play Bloodborne you can do it on a much cheaper machine than your single video card at the cost of $400.00, and then purchase the Bloodborne and be happy you did.

[r1sh12]

i dont get why sony thinks its a bad thing to sell on PC?
They will just make more money.

Ive not understood Sony's business model, its like they want to lose more and more money sometimes.

And before all the crazy people start saying they make money, only 1 division makes money...
PS4 - no other division does.

[Mr_Writer85]

SCE would not make money buy selling there games on PC.

Only a moron would believe this, if the PS4 didn't have exclusives that people wanted it wouldn't sell, if it doesn't sell SCE doesn't make money, as the more PS4's you sell the more games come to your platform, the more games that come the more money you make. But having 3rd party games isn't enough, you need to make your console stand out.

That why they make exclusives.

To make people say "oh man now I need to buy a PS4".. Do you really think then that person (unless they are rich and can afford to) is just going to buy one game? No they will most likely buy more to get value for that PS4, maybe even buy Plus.

Even if that one person didn't sub to plus and buy any games, it would equal to 13 copies, if only 3,000 people bought a PS4 for Bloodborne that would £1,000,000.

To make that same amount on PC selling the game at £30, they would have to sell 33,000 copies, although bare in mind the cost of porting, marketing and having to pay the likes of Valve, and EA to have it on their stores eats into that profit.

So I am not convinced.

Bare in mind the amount of PC gamers who say they will wait for a sale would also effect sales and profit.

[r1sh12]

@Mr_Writer85 LMAO -
Firstly Im not the moron if I do not know how to use their, there and theyre properly.

Second - It would make money, youre assuming it would go on Steam, but Sony would of course make money.
Its almost free for them to put up a game on PC, the development costs would be minimal since they are working with similar hardware.

You're assuming way too many things here..
First the assumption of Ill buy more games on the PS4, I know plenty of people who only have fifa and do not buying anything else including PSN and XBL for both consoles.

Finally the PC market is much bigger than console and many years after the game was released people will continue to buy it, if its that good because the platforms dont change that much.
e.g I played Knights of the old republic on windows 8.1 almost 10 years after it was released.

if you compare like for like..

£40 for PS4
£30 for PC

Yes they would have to sell more on PC, but the market is bigger and getting a slice into it is the perfect business plan. A little of somthing large is much better than nothing of something.

BTW its not like console gamers dont wait to rent a game or possibly buy in on sale too.
How does the renting or pre-owned market affect sales and profits?
LOOL You took 1 side and didnt realise your argument was flawed.

Get your con-deluded facts together before you talk.

They could easily sell DVDs or codes which are added to steam as non steam games, but they would exist in the players library and have a place to download to.

selling to more people is more profit, even if the margins would be a little less on PC, why would anyone that knows business stop themselves doing that?

[joeorc]

@r1sh12

1st off Playstation is not the only section of Sony that makes Money.

and as for this:

"i dont get why sony thinks its a bad thing to sell on PC?
They will just make more money.

Ive not understood Sony's business model, its like they want to lose more and more money sometimes. "

And What? Make the perception of the playstation platform that less viable?

think about that, you ask why? Its very freaking Simple: if BloodBorne released on PC, what freaking Main OS would a Bloodborne Port for PC would Sony than be having to make along with from software.. what OS would be powering the PC of gamers , which OS of the PC in which this game would be needed to in order to gather the most sales?

would that be Microsoft Windows OS? when many Gamers Call PC an Open Platform for Gaming is it really when the main AAA games for PC are only made for Microsoft Windows OS?

That is the main Point don't you think?

thus How in Gods Green Earth would Sony want the PS4 Exclusive to than Be Viewed as a freaking Multi platform game also on a Non Playstation Platform that Sony spent Millions on in development Costs, and thus the perception of the PS4 "still has no freaking Games" be posted over and over on Gamer forums even More.

That only helps Microsoft's and the Xbox Platform even more .while hurting the perception of the playstation platform more.

PC games are still seen via perception as a ( Microsoft exclusive )
even though PC does not mean only a OS powered by only windows Microsoft OS in order to be a standard of "PC" there is Linux, and Mac and spark, and Unix etc.

but the main Point is In all blunt terms the vast majority of PC gaming is seen as Microsoft windows Powered Exclusive Play ground.

That is exactly why many even consider any xbox platform game that goes to PC still is a (Microsoft exclusive)

but reverse that for example

SOE games for example some were running on the PS3 and some on the PS4, but then those very same games were also on PC. So Many see why would I need to get a Ps3 or Ps4 when the same game is on a Microsoft platform anyway.

That's exactly why BloodBorne is only on the freaking PS4
its not about the Money they could gain from PC sales, its the idea of taking in more money at the expense of their own d@mn platform.

the point is Many would say why get a playstation when those games are also on Microsofts platform already...why not just stick with Microsoft.

So how does that make playstation as a platform more viable to also release one of its Main AAA budget games to also release on a Microsoft Platform when Sony is trying to sell a Damn Playstation?

its freaking common sense.

[r1sh12]

@joeorc

What other Sony divisions make money?
The laptop/computer business got sold off, the mobile phone business is about to be spun off.
They are making more losses year on year.

TV Not making money
Films - Not making money

Gaming the only division to make money, any others.. nope?
Every article including FT states this clearly, the number 1 commercial money making division of Sony is Insurance and thats only in japan.
A side from that the PS4 - thats it.

[I_AM_ CANADIAN_1989]

I don't think fromsoft did anything wrong to pc gamers but seriously nobody can deny the fact that bloodborne on ps4 has a limiting FPS I swear the game goes from 30 to 20 very frequently even indoors where fps should be steady. After playing ds 2 on pc at 60fps locked no stutter I really think fromsoft souls games insanely benefit from 60fps. Really like the combat and graphics only negative I have for bloodborne is the stutter and frame droppage. So tbh it's really not that crazy for gamers to want bloodborne at 60fps locked, which would have to be on pc to happen. for all the pc haters out there just think of Ds 2 on PC 60fps than switch it out with bloodborne at 60fps and try not to cream your pants. This is coming from a guy that bought demons souls on PS3, dark souls on ps3, dark souls 2 on ps3 and PC and I bought bloodborne on ps4 and I'd definately support a pc version of bloodborne in a year with extra dlc content added. I love ps4 having exclusives but I know I'd love bloodborne more at 60fps, wouldn't you ? Once you play a souls game at 60fps locked it's hard to go back to the stutters even if the graphics are better.

[WellyUK]

Entitled fan boys... Sony needs a way of luring people to it's console, this is how they do that... If every game was available on PC then there is NO need for consoles... Also it's only getting this stuff because the game is actually good.

[JsonHenry]

This is why I own a PS4 AND a PC. Get it together guys.

[Gazondaily]

It doesn't take much to start a petition these days. Petitions like this are commonplace. We saw it with Sunset Overdrive as well.

It wouldn't surprise me if there is a petition to force all the people in the world to eat cereal with chopsticks.

[NeverHeavyMan]

In Sunset's case, though, I could understand it, given it's still owned by a third party. In this case, it makes absolutely no sense at all. It's owned by SCE.

[Gazondaily]

To be honest, From Software are the devs behind this and their Souls games came out on other platforms too so the same mentality could apply.

But yeah, this was made exclusively for Sony's platforms so fair enough. No petition is going to help that.

[MasterCornholio]

"To be honest, From Software are the devs behind this and their Souls games came out on other platforms too so the same mentality could apply."

If they made a similar deal like they did with Demon Souls then Sony probably owns the IP and it wont ever come to any other platforms unless they let it.

But only if they made a similar deal like with Demonsouls.

[Haru]

@Septic Sony Japan worked on this too not just From, From did most of the job but they had help from Sony to optimize the game and Sony also worked on some parts of the game

[Gazondaily]

Yeah dont get me wrong, I don't think this will come to any other platforms at all.

[Eonjay]

@Septic

Its Sony's IP.

[CYCLEGAMER]

@neverheavyMan
Regardless of who's IP it is, who made it, or if the studio used to be multiplat or not, there is no excuse for these silly petitions for games to come to your preferred platform. You as the consumer made your gaming decision on what platform YOU wanted to game on.

There were petitions for almost all of the xbox one exclusives. If you are a person who signed most of those petitions, clearly you like the games that Microsoft is offering, so why not buy an xbox?? Same goes for the Sony, if you like their games then go buy a ps4.

PC gamers, stop whining for console exclusives. Every game isn't going to come to any one console, which is why I buy them all.

[Baka-akaB]

Not really , even if i get what you allude too ... Dark Souls were still different from Demon souls a bit . Not lesser because multiplatform , just different .

And we can guess one of the reasons why. SCE Japan was still quite involved in the development and it showed then with Demon , and now again with Bloodborne .

Kinda like how Tri Ace definitively helped helped out on the game with aspects of game design, art and programming for FFXIII-2 . Or Cambridge studios giving a big helping hand for Heavenly Sword's release .

[DragonKnight]

I'm going to start a petition to ban petition sites from allowing people to make petitions. That'll show everyone.

[bleedsoe9mm]

yes bloodborne is the worst case of strong armed business practice , its shocking FROM agreed to this kind of anti gamer relationship

[KimDongHwan]

And this people forget that it was Sony in the first place that published Demon's Souls and letting this amazing game get to gamers hands. It's because they only know this game thanks to Dark's Souls.

[Vegamyster]

Pretty much, I'm primarily a PC Gamer but i don't expect this game will ever come to PC since Sony is involved in the development with From Software, something the petition doesn't mention.

[MasterCornholio]

Yep Japan studios helped them develop the game. I doubt it will ever come to a non Sony platform.

[Stapleface]

It's not going to happen. This is why I also buy consoles. I totally get why people want it on pc though. There is nothing wrong with that.

[subtenko]

HAHAHAHA Playstation Master Race! ;)

Honestly though, don't be mad..you want the game you'll have a PS4, simple as that. If not oh well, enjoy what you want! :D

[jcnba28]

I made this petition 2 years ago, funny thing is it actually happened. Doubt my petition was of much help though lol: https://www.change.org/p/pe...

[Gazondaily]

There you have it folks. The man responsible for the re-release of Bayonetta on Wii U!

[jcnba28]

Why am I getting dislikes lol you people are so immature.

[NeverHeavyMan]

Nah, same mentality doesn't apply for several reasons. First, From has been working with Sony since the 90s. They generally receive an exclusive (or two) from them. Next, Sony Japan also worked on the game, just like Deep Down with Capcom.

There will either be a third Dark Souls or new IP altogether, for multiple platforms.

[Gazondaily]

From Software has also made several Xbox exclusives. Otogi, Chromehounds and Metal Wolf Chaos.

[DragonKnight]

The thing with Bloodborne is that it's likely that this game was actually Sony's idea that they approached FromSoft with given the Bloodborne trademark they registered awhile back. Even if it wasn't, FromSoft is actually just using Sony for future games. See, they are quite clever in that they'll get someone like Sony to fund and co-develop a game, creating an engine that works well for the PS4, and then they'll use what they've learned about some of the PS4's hidden talents (if any) to make better versions of PS4 versions of multiplat games.

They did this with Demon's Souls and the move to Dark Souls. So it's a mutually beneficial arrangement. I wouldn't be surprised if Bloodborne ends up being the PS4's Demon's Souls and a new IP almost identical but with a different name to Bloodborne shows up and is multiplat later.

[Brotard]

People don't seem to realize that this was co developed by from software and studio japan.

[ndub317]

How about a petition to stop stupid petitions

[Christopher]

You mock my chopsticks stance now, Septic, but one day... you'll see the error of your ways as you're picking up Cheerios on a single stick and enjoying them as they easily fall into your mouth without much fuss.

[Gazondaily]

So you want me to snort my porridge off a chopstick like I'm doing cocaine?

That's one petition I'm definitely not signing.

[DragonKnight]

"So you want me to snort my porridge off a chopstick like I'm doing cocaine?"

You.... you mean that's not how you're actually supposed to eat it?

Dammit!!! My entire life and what I know about the world are shattered now.

[Malice-Flare]

let them wait...

[Manubiggs]

Start with the Demon Souls petition then move onto Bloodborne

[HammadTheBeast]

I think they did petition that and it didn't go anywhere either.

[Saleem101]

Bloodborne is a sony game not going happen unless sony start tappin PC market...

[shodai]

which they just got out of...

[Baka-akaB]

Yeah it's unlikely for the next few years , when they even got rid of SOE their former mmo branch wich released pc titles

[dirkdady]

Well Sony owns the bloodborne IP so they should petition Sony.

[shodai]

LOL, they know they got no hope if they ask Sony, sony is going to stare at them and burst into laughter from this proposal.

[FarEastOrient]

Don't bother, reading the comments on Change.org for the petition, it paints a good picture of the uneducated signing on and thinking that the companies involved will listen.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

lol

[juggulator]

Wow!!! Just because its one of the greatest games ever made doesn't mean PC elitists should feel entitled to it. I didn't hear anything about a petition to bring The Order:1886 to PC. There's something to be said here: If you want to play the game...buy a PS4.

[TheRedButterfly]

"I didn't hear anything about a petition to bring The Order:1886 to PC."

There were probably several reasons for this. 1 Because the dev had never developed anything for PC, but 2 because the game is nowhere near as good as Bloodborne appears to be.

[Moe-Gunz]

Haha haha come on now really?

[360ICE]

Jeez, just buy a PS4. You're gonna need one sooner or later, if you take a quick glance at the upcoming line-up.

I know that sounded fanboyish, but it's the same with PC. Wouldn't want to miss out on Ori, Cities: Skylines or any of the hundreds of games PC gets either.

[Nucler100]

Lmao, "Betrayed"

[LarVanian]

Don't you just love how Shakespearean gamers and gaming have become? Lol

[jackmamma]

Wow the "PC Master Race" begging for games again. It's sad

[majiebeast]

Its a staple of PC master race. Bitch about consoles but then beg for their games at the same time.

[Sir_Simba]

I have never heard a petition cause a dent to anything, this is the real world you will be excluded from things wether you like or not, people need to accept that.

[Tedakin]

Oh brother.... Rise of the Tomb Raider on X1 betrayed. SF5 on PS4 betrayed. MS buying Rare and having KI betrayed. Bayonetta 2 on Wii U betrayed.... Everything betrayed..... Watch Dogs exclusives on PS4 betrayed.... Bungie going with Sony with Destiny betrayed.... Insomniac going with MS with SO betrayed....

So says gamers...

[Arty84]

yeah more "betrayals" than Game of Thrones

[Eonjay]

I thought this was co developed by Japan Studio... so what are they saying that Sony also betrayed gamers by releasing a game exclusively on their own system? Oh game whose IP is owned by Sony mind you.

[Death]

The interesting thing here is Microsoft did the same with Rise of the Tomb Raider. They partnered with Square in development. Many gamers complained and said Microsoft money hatted it and it was an evil thing to do. Not only did Sony and From do the same thing here, they also made it exclusive unlike Tomb Raider which looks to be times exclusive. It's ironic that the same people complained about Tomb Raider are the ones calling PC gamers cry babies.

Bottom line is Bloodbourne is a great game and many gamers want to play it on their platform of choice. This says a lot about the game and should be taken as a compliment.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Here we go with the Tomb Raider excuse. The thing with TR is that it's a sequel of a game that was on PS3 and PC. Then they suddenly announce TR exclusively to the bone when every PS4 and PC player were excited for it. The controversy was expected. What's so controversial about this? This doesn't even compare to the TR case.

A better case could be Scalebound, which is also a game being developed by a 3rd part game and coming to one console. No one is hating Ms for that because it is a title being made from scratch and a game that needed partnership to be made. Seriously people get all the consoles if you are all going to feel like this for every exclusive. It's like they aren't happy with what they have. they want what the others have as well. SMH

[Death]

Dark Souls 2 was also on PC and 360. Bloodbourne is based on the Souls series in design but is considered by From to be a new IP. It's not much different than saying Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't a sequel since it takes place before the first game. Bloodbourne is the first game to be released by From since Dark Souls 2 and is also the first game on the current generation of consoles. I don't think I can say this isn't the successor to Souls without feeling like a liar, but if you want to stand behind a technicality to feel better that is up to you.

I'm old enough to know platform holders pay for exclusivity from time to time. Bloodbourne is no different than Tomb Raider or Street Fighter in that regards. I won't be a hypocrite and say otherwise.

[ocelot07]

Yes I agree this is a successor to Souls....Demon's Souls that is. The other title FROM and Sony worked together on. The PS3 exclusive.

Don't get me wrong I loved Dark Souls but it just did not have the extra spice in the pot like Demon's Souls had. That extra spice was down to both FROM and Sony Japan.

I look at it like this. Who knows if it was not for Sony Japan and FROM making Demon's Souls there may not of been a Dark Souls series or Bloodborne.

[Fkhalf16]

Square Enix Owns the Tom Raider IP, A 3rd Party Puplisher decided to deal with MS on a time-exclusivity. SONY owns the Bloodborne/Demon Souls IP, Approached Miyazaki for another collaborative project, literally the same team that developed Demon Souls along with SCE Japan. Namco-Bandai Games owns the Dark Soul IP hence why its a multiplat title.

[EinRobot]

Some petitions are clearly just adults throwing tantrums. I use the word "adult" in the broadest sense of the word.

[Dennis_the_Menace]

Not gonna happen. Just like Demon Souls. I suggest to play the best game buy a Ps4

[OUROSMAG]

Weren't there a few people claiming this game would be another fail on behalf of sony? Funny how a 93 on metacritic changes a few tunes.

[Jazz4108]

Now I thought metacritic was a joke and reviews were just opinions that did not matter. That is what was just stated over and over for the order. I want to know why this game is different? I own a ps4 and pre-ordered this game. I am not one who cares about reviews or what console it's on. I play what games look good to me and I started the souls series on Sony and I'm happy to continue it with them. Just do not quite understand the double standard with reviews? Just my opinion. Btw get this game it is everything I expected and more.

[OUROSMAG]

I pre ordered a loooooooooong time ago. I was merely commenting on the sillyness of the whole situation.

I write reviews for ouros and even I think metacritic is ridiculous.

[Elvick]

I'm still saying metacritic is pointless. Since it is, and it's a cancer on this industry.

However, it is better that something do well there if only to avoid the sheep trashing a game for no reason. [often people who would have never played it even if it did score well]

It serves no purpose to anyone. You can watch videos of the game, streams and figure it out for yourself. It's not hard to know if you'd like something or if something is well made by looking at it.

And PS4 has built in streaming capabilities and recording. :\ yet people still rely on being told what to play.

[Fkhalf16]

Its mostly people who don't own a PS4 that wanted this game to fail. metacritic quickly shut them up though.

[The_Sage]

Lol. Buy a PS4 ya cheap bastards.

[ginsunuva]

We know they're not cheap since they buy $500 gpus every 2 years, but they've got this stigma against consoles they can't get rid of.

[The_Sage]

Well said +.

[LamerTamer]

I don't think the the Glorious PC Mustard Face can bring themselves to play a game at less than 1440p and 60 FPS. Their fingers might get all soft from not having to type WASD all of the time either. That is fine but why bitch when a console exclusive hits? PCs have exclusives too, I guess those devs betrayed console owners then too.

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

I bought a PS4 because of Naughty Dog/Uncharted + TLOU, Sucker Punch/Infamous, Persona, Team ICO, Polyphony Digital/Gran Turismo, Quantic Dream, and XDEV. Games made by these developers are only available on Playstation platforms.

Now if Sony starts porting games from these developers to PC what reason would anyone have to buy a Playstaion 4?

Want to play Playstation exclusives?

Buy a PS4.

http://31.media.tumblr.com/...

[Death]

I won't disagree with your post. I'm just not sure why you made it when From is not an exclusive Sony developer. They are a third party developer that also releases on PC and Xbox. Bloodborne is a paid third party exclusive.

[Chevalier]

@Death

Just like Platinum is a 3rd party making Scalebound or Insomniacs making SSO?! What's your point?! You make it seem like this arrangement with From Software is something new. Did you forget they started the Souls series with Sony?!

[slinky123456]

it's also a first party co-developed game. SCEJ co-developed it. Why don't people understand that??? It' s first party game too.

[Death]

It can't be a first party game if it's developed by a third party. At best it would be a second party game, but even that is not accurate since From is a multiplatform developer.

What is the difference between Sony sending people to From to help with development and Microsoft sending people to Square to help with development? Microsoft was accused of money hatting, yet people are calling Bloodbourne first party. It's extremely hypocritical on their part.

I personally don't care who develops what. I'll be enjoying Bloodbourne tonight like many others. I just find the hypocrisy very frustrating from those that slam everything Microsoft and praise the same things when it's Sony doing it.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

Bloodborne is a 1st party title because Sony owns it.

[TheUpbringer]

And they wonder why no one likes the PC group.

[Lon3wolf]

Of course no PS4 owners signed the petition to get Ryse on the PS4?

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

That would have been a stupid petition lol. when did that happen?

[Lon3wolf]

@XiKurapikaKurta

https://www.change.org/p/cr...

only 5k short too.

[carlingtat]

To be fair that was for PC as well so majority could have been PC mustard rice

[affrogamer]

this one particular game is going to force a bunch of PC elitists to buy a PS4!

[Lon3wolf]

already have one (along with Wii-U and Xbone) thanks. :D

[Death]

It's amazing how so many people think this way. If PC elitists bought consoles because of the exclusives, wouldn't that disqualify them from being PC elitists? PC gamers are upset because they are missing the latest game from From due to Sony buying the exclusive rights to the game. A lot of times PC gamers aren't affected by console exclusives since PC is sometimes excluded from the console exclusivity. Unfortunately for them this isn't one of those times.

[Chevalier]

@Death
Get your facts straight it is a Sony IP and a 3rd party developer was hired to do the work with Sony's Japan Studio. They didn't buy the rights they made the game and own the rights to the IP.

[Death]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

From is the developer and Hidetaka Miyazaki is the Director. According to the Director, level design and game DNA come from the Demon Souls games. I'm not sure how much credit should go to Sony Japan when they aren't listed as developers. From the looks of it Sony Japan is marketing and of course publishing under SCE. This is exactly how Rise of the Tomb Raider is being done. The game will be published by Microsoft on the Xbox and Microsoft is helping with development. http://www.ign.com/articles...

The only real difference is Sony bought the IP when they asked From to create the game. This way the game can never go multiplatform. I'm not sure how that is seen as being more gamer friendly than a timed exclusive.

[Chevalier]

Phantom Dust is a Microsoft game being made for MS by another studio. Microsoft doesn't own Remedy studio's yet they are making Quantum Break. Ratchet and Clank is a Sony IP which was made by Insomniacs, Sony still owns the IP at the end of the day.

Tomb Raider is still owned by Square Enix. Microsoft also published Gears Of War by Epic and only bought the IP last year. Sony actually owns the IP so it's not the same at all.

[PrinceOfAllSaiyans]

It's a Sony Japan game. It won't happen. Sony games never go to PC. And SOE don't count, they don't have anything to do with Sony WWS.

[NBT91]

Yeah! And then we can bring Warcraft, Elite Dangerous, ETS2, Assesto Corsa, Cities Skyline, Ori etc over to the PS4 as well... Or even the Wii U because everyone should be able to play all games no matter what system they have according to the petition.

There's exclusives on all platforms, deal with it. No one started any petitions to bring Mario 3D World to PC did they? (actually they probably did to be fair lol)

[Lon3wolf]

You could always start a petition but then everyone would deride you for it :D

[Acquiescence]

How did From betray PC gamers when the bulk of their past titles have been Playstation exclusive? And let's not forget that Demon's Souls marked the beginning of the whole Souls phenomenon, a PS3 exclusive that was co-developed by Sony's own Studio Japan. Without that game, the whole Souls franchise might not even exist to this day.

This petition is as desperate as it is deluded.

[Lon3wolf]

I agree silly petition for something that is totally outside From's control.

[GameBoyColor]

and if it wasn't for atlus, people in the west probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy it. Thanks Atlus/From/Sony <3

[ipach]

maybe playstation fans should have complained that From Software betrayed playstation by releasing Dark Souls

[SpinalRemains138]

SONY publishes and puts the game exclusively on their own machine, and it's a betrayal?

Betrayal would be if they put it on Xbox exclusively.

Fact is that Sony published Demons Souls and it was exclusive. The fact that PC players even got Dark Souls was an anomaly. Bloodborne is the return to norm.

[bleedsoe9mm]

paying 3rd party devs to make exclusive games is incredibly distasteful no matter who is doing it Nintendo , MS or Sony . this is a very bad case because sony owns the IP unlike sunset or tombraider .

[Christopher]

I disagree. Paying anyone to make one of your IPs is just standard business. The other option is to buy them and make them a first-party group. That is worse. At least by paying them to develop a game on your behalf, they will still make third-party titles in the future.

[slinky123456]

It is also co-developed by SCEJ. So it's also a first party game. Also, the game probably would not exist at all without Sony. From would probably just be waiting to release Dark Souls 3 and that's it. Bloodborne was made because Sony. How do people not get that???

[StormLegend]

LMAO not gonna happen.

[DrumBeat]

Sorry guys.

You're going to have to purchase a Playstation 4 to play this gem. Don't get all angry and upset, just buy a PS4 and enjoy its exclusives.

[SpinalRemains138]

http://www.kdramastars.com/...

There are already lies about it being available on Amazon!

Wow.

[xXDerickXx]

I think what Microsoft will do with Windows 10 and being able to play Xbox games on pc will end up pushing Sony to do the same. Microsoft will be making double the money and probably now have a community of 25+ M customer between Xbox and pc or maybe more. Sony will do the same because I know a lot of PlayStation fans that own a pc will want to play their exclusives.

[joeorc]

"Sony will do the same because I know a lot of PlayStation fans that own a pc will want to play their exclusives."

and what OS would be powering those playstation Console Ports to PC? Which PC OS would you need to run those playstation Console Ports?

Do you See why that is very Unlikely to Happen? With Playstation Now, being the only close thing to what you are implying to happen, but for Making and porting More Playstation Exclusives for PC is in blunt terms

Change the perception Sony as a game console company going more 3rd Party and thus be more seen as "THE WAY OF SEGA"

Why would Sony do such a thin? And Damage the Playstation Platform Viability?

thus Playstation as a platform to be seen as less viable
while bolstering Windows OS and the Xbox platform .

That's very unlikey to happen don't you think?

[guyman]

It's quite hilarious when people are blinded by hate and jealously. Bloodborne is an ip held by Sony, no pathetic petition could break that. Sony also published the game and Sony Japan Co-developed with From Software.

[gamertk421]

Betrayal...treachery, lol. Whatever. Not my kind of game.

[GamerGT]

To add another note. To purchase a PS4 at $399.99 is going to save you a lot more headache to play Bloodbourne than trying to play Bloodbourne on a PC for $399.99.

[m1armor]

I wouldn't want to for $399.99 because I would get the same mediocre experience as the ps4. This is why us pc gamer's spend a lot for the best experience possible. If you love your console's so be it. Stop talking non sense.

[ninsigma]

How many people do you actually think have a high end rig?? Cuz I bet it's not as many as you think.

OT:

This whole thing is quite silly imo. It's an exclusive just like any other exclusive is an exclusive but no one complains about them. It's quite sad this place we've come to.

[Agrim]

Lol at the "betrayed" part. They didnt feel betrayed when DeS came out but now with BB they feel betrayed. Im sorry that's just childish and stupid.

[m1armor]

Ain't no body want that game.

[Tzuno]

On PC it could look like a beast, well they need exclusives or no one will buy a console just for random gaming. Update http://www.ign.com/articles...

[SpinalRemains138]

Yeah it could look beast, then the online will be completely worthless due to cheaters. This is why so many prefer consoles. Everyone gets the same experience and there isn't a giant community modding, hacking and destroying the developers intent.

I'm sorry, but gaming on PC has huge drawbacks, overwhelming cheating at the forefront.

[slappy508]

I would've liked to have this on PC , 60 frames and quicker loading times. I do understand the need for console exclusives that's the nature of competition. Nevertheless looking forward to this on my ps4.

[Duke19]

Jesus does everything need to be a multiplat? If you want to enjoy Bloodborne, get a PS4. Attacking a company because they didn't port a game to other systems is pretty lame.

PC players should branch out from the "master race" every once and a while

[mochachino]

Pc gamers are always disparaging consoles as inferior gaming platforms then cry when so many of the best games don't come on PC
. Red Dead Redemption, GTA5, Halo, and now Bloodborn. Well at least they're getting GTA 2 years after release.

[FlameWater]

PC gamers come on, you're crying over a hack and slash?

[Crummybear]

Sorry guys, these petitions never work. Sony owns this one just like Demons Souls. If you want the game that bad, you'll have to get a PS4 like the rest of us.

[jznrpg]

Demon Souls was a ps3 only game, and this is the same thing, they made it with Sony. You can buy a ps4 instead of buying top of the line graphics card and still buy a decent one with the leftover money.

[Majin-vegeta]

Yea you have a better chance of being struck by lightNing than this happening.

[kbozz71]

As a mostly pc gamer, I find this insane. A publisher/developer has the right to put their games on whatever platform they want. And besides, a PS4 costs less than many high end graphics cards in the first place. Just buy one and be done...like I did. Problem solved, lol.

[assdan]

Sony owns the trademark, from couldn't even if they wanted to.

[Blues Cowboy]

Oh come on now. Commissioning a studio to make a new IP for your platform is NOT STEALING A GAME FROM ANOTHER PLATFORM.

I can't put it in simpler terms than that. This petition is a joke, and I say that as someone who primarily plays on PC and doesn't even have a PS4!

[JaytHewRit3r]

Why is it such a problem? Did Demon Souls come to a PC or any other platform? From Software made Bloodborne with Sony for the PS4 just like Demon Souls was made by From Software with Sony for the PS3. Obviously there were a lot of people wanting the Demon Souls experience and that's why they made Dark Souls, the spiritual successor to Demon Souls, as a multiplat game. So my advice to all the people who are butthurt over this...just wait for the multiplat version of Bloodborne... because it will come at some point for the rest of the platforms...they'll make a small change to the name like calling it Bloodlust or something like that with similar mechanics and such.

[dreadz74]

Thought Pc gamers are the master race turns out they are the master beggars. I have a PC but this is ridiculous they call Console gamers peasants but yet owning a PC gets you less blockbuster title whereas Consoles get way more exclusives. Pc gamers are the peasants with less quality exclusives lol .

[silvacrest]

dont forget, PC gamers get delays all the time,, master race my ass

[Father__Merrin]

if the Pc elite feel betrayed I would recommend looking for a game on steam called Betrayer, it's actually a very good game...

[Blashted]

I play on PC and this is sad. PC elitists can be such hypocrites, saying they have more and better games then petitions show up. Just let console gamers have their exclusives. You spent $1500 on a PC why dont you just spend $400 on a ps4? Gamers shouldnt suffer the loss of their beloved exclusives because your platform doesnt have it. Its like me asking for Halo on PS4 which makes me look thirsty. It seems like little money to you anyway. I wouldnt want Bloodborne on my PC its a playstation game go buy a ps4, it wont make you a "console peasant" like the master race brainwashes you into thinking. PC has plenty of games that consoles don't have, go play Half life or Counter Strike, but why not just own both platforms instead of stealing games?

[Stopher92]

THANK YOU, bubble for you

[Malacath]

Doesn't Sony own the IP for bloodborne?

If they do you can't expect them to allow it to be released on their competitors platforms.

Releasing the game on PC won't help them sell consoles. And they have nothing to gain as they don't own the operating systems that power PC's

[randomguy35]

Funny to hear..all this talk of "console peasants" and bragging from the so called PC Elites whom 85% don't own these super saiyan 4k T-1000 from the future pc's they claim own piss and moan.If you want the game so bad come off your high horses and come down to peasant level lol. When it boils down to it these devs need to make money to bring us these great games and it has been proven bringing them to pc the devs lose money due to illegal downloads that most of the "master race" does.

[Chevalier]

Funny that they have so many games to play yet here they are begging for a PC port. Where most of them will pirate and hack the game to ruin it for everyone else.

[baodeus]

Based on the gamers view in general, a great game should be played by as many as possible because the creator deserve it.

But business is business, so if u want to play something that bad, go out and buy the consol to play it. Gamer buy consol or what ever hardware necessary to play THE game that they want. If they are buying game based on consol of choice only, they are doing it incorrectly.

[Xristo]

As much as I find this petition pathetic, I realize that publishers like Ubisoft and Namco Bandai have enabled this type of behavior. These two publishers allowed petitions on The Division and Dark Souls, respectively, to sway their decision on creating a PC version. We have to expect this type of behavior now, unfortunately. Now, don't get me wrong. I am happy that both petitions wielded the results they did but unfortunately at the cost of seeing a damn petition for every game now.

As a primarily PC gamer, I am happy for the PS4 owners to have a gem as Bloodborne appears to be as consoles should have excellent exclusives. Their loyal player base deserves it. If I ever buy a PS4, Bloodborne will be a game I buy the same day! Enjoy it fellas! Remember, not all of us, and I know a lot that are like me here, are the stereotypical PC elitist. And if you can find it in your heart, die a few times for this PC gamer lol.

[BladerunnerZX]

The PC master race would just pirate the game anyway.
There might be a billion PC gamers but the only games that actually sell well on PC
Are games like WOW and Diablo.

[PudgeyBurrito]

I thought being a "Master Race".. This would entitle them to get all great games.. and then I remembered they don't really ever get AAA exclusives. That must suck in 4k.

[Coach_McGuirk]

wow so much hate. it's just a petition, guys...

[kevinsheeks]

scary isn't it lol

[kenshiro100]

A really dumb petition, for that matter. Sony owns the IP. Either buy a PS4 or find some other game to satiate your needs.

[Mexxan]

Suck it up. Buy a PS4 and be done with it....

[Str8Chaos74]

The betrayed part is what cracks me up. We all new this was an exclusive PS4 game and it's staying that way. Where is the betrayal? I game mostly on PC but have a PS4 as well, it's not that hard to enjoy both.

[MadLad]

As a PC gamer . . . that's up to the people who paid for its existence in the first place.

- edited -

[DarXyde]

It's in the actual Change.org petition:

https://www.change.org/p/fr...

[MadLad]

Fair enough.
I redact my statement.

I thought it just more sensationalist BS from Crave.

To whomever decided to fuel the petition with such wording, that's a shame.

[DarXyde]

Oh, bugger off, PC gamers.

You were all going on about how your platform is so magnificent. Now that there's a very solid reason for you lot to buy a PS4, you want to strip that away?Did you not know how great Demon's Souls was?

The entitlement of some people...

[windblowsagain]

Someone should do a petition to stop people making petitions.

As for many games, including the witcher as starchild stated. Those games were ported to make money on a game already on PC.

If Sony decides they want to make more money from Bloodborne it could be brought to PC.

[ftrain]

No they won't. Sony keeps their exclusives just like Nintendo. This isn't new and it's not going to happen.

[Silly gameAr]

Betrayed? It would be different if From Software were known for making PC games and moved to console development, but that's not the case here. Plus, even though It's a From game, it's a Sony exclusive.

I hate to say it because I hate when people say this crap, but if you want to play Bloodborne, you'll just have to get a PS4.

[dafegamer]

This seems ironic after all those "but .... but ps4 has no gaems" crys :/

[Maxor]

I'm not sure what the deal is. PC gamers already have the Souls franchise and Lords of Fallen. It's not like anybody actually need 3 games of the type. Plus petitioning for a port is a bad idea considering how horrible Japanese devs are at making the said port. For example when Dark Souls released on the PC it was an utterly shit port that required heavy modding to fix.

[dafegamer]

Sony Japan x From software developed the game. There is no chance in it ever coming to PC. A future Vita version might be possible yes, but not PC as multiplat

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

This is why i own all consoles. I dont have to worry about silly stuff like this. Im glad its an exclusive only because it gives me justification FINALLY for buying a ps4 day 1. Now im going back to cursing out the stupid first boss! Grrrrrrr!!!!!

[cyber_daemonx]

Bbbut PS4 got no games apparently. The butthurt those PC elitists are experiencing must be incredible. How dare the PS4 get such a good game exclusively. Sacrilege. The wailing and gnashing of teeth is so loud you can almost hear it. Talk about Entitled.

Keep crying, Bloodborne will never be on any platform other than PlayStation.

Sometimes its great being a console peasant. Roll on Friday, cant wait.

[MicDude]

Ok first let me say that I think this whole petition thing is pointless and accomplishes literally nothing. I get that the game is exclusive, if that's the way they want it, then alright. The whole exclusive thing sucks bad though. Truthfully, I don't want to play this game on a PS4, if I had a choice I would play it on PC because I feel that's PC is the superior platform that allows for higher framerates, higher resolutions, and graphical fidelity. To me framerate is really what matters so if the game did run at 60FPS I probably would have bought the game sooner.

[ShadowGhost]

PC elitists are sad! It's funny.... they always like to bash people that play consoles as peasants but when AAA blockbuster games come out, they wanna ruin it and want it on their platform of choice.

Games that come out a year after they release on consoles like the upcoming GTA V for example are already been played out and hardly talked about but PC gamers will finally be able to play that game after all this time lol. Getting our sloppy seconds.

Keep being classy PC gamers, you're only hurting your so-called "PC Master Race" image even more!!!

[x_RadicalAura_x]

You want to talk about betrayal, PC fanboys? Then go talk to Crystal Dynamics about Tomb Raider. Bloodborne is a new IP. From Software doesn't owe you anything.

Either 1.) Buy a PS4 and play Bloodborne or 2.) STFU and let us all enjoy our new game. You guys always claim to have so many more exclusives than consoles anyways, so go play those.

[scark92]

SALTY!! SALTTY! Love seeing people who devote themselves to one system cry about exclusives, specifically those that are not obliged to have it

[rezzah]

That is a lot of salt.

[AndreR]

Demon´s souls did not come to pc. so i dont think this will make it.

[WESKER2015]

hahahahahaha, buy a ps4 if you wanna play it

[AndreR]

the funny thing is that no one even cared that infamous second son was only for ps4. its good that ps4 getting som good exclusive games, so it matter to have a ps4. its like nintendo console, do they ever release a game on pc?! NO. but when sony does the same thing, the pc gamers cry over it. i think console games should have more exclusive games. because those games is sooo mutch better done. then of its multiplatorm. every sony exclusive game on ps3 is great and really special. and it makes owning the console feels more special. ps1 with crash bandicoot, never came to pc. and i think pc games should be only for pc. better optimized for each system.

[_LarZen_]

I would like to see Bloodborne on PC also. But that was just pathetic.

[kenwonobi]

LOL! Well thats a good thing if they are crying to have this game so bad. It must be really good. I gotta have it now.

[baodeus]

@christopher,

So do u agree that MS approach has always been about paying 3rd party for exclusive ( almost in most case are just timed exclusive) and still allow them to develop game on other system too correct?

Do u also agree that Sony tend to actually buy out developer and make them 1st party or just straight up buy out the IP?

So why on this site, people always blasted MS for being evil while praising Sony for smart business tactic, or smart move to acquire talent, etc....? Based on what you said of which one is worst (and thankfully u have more agrees in this case), is there something wrong with the assessment/thinking process of gamers on this site? Can u say they are bias?

[ion666]

I dont remember the last time I wanted a P.C.game. Happy wheels....no thank you.

[TheFallen1327]

Sony gets dark souls type game no one bats an eye, microsoft get tomb raider everyone loses their mind

[Silly gameAr]

Tomb Raider is an established franchise that's been on PS consoles from the beginning. Bloodborne is a new IP owned by Sony making it's debut on the PS4.

Big difference.

[Mithan]

They "betrayed"? Like the morons saying the same thing when Tomb Raider was on Xbox One.

They don't owe us anything. Buy a PS4 or stfu, just like if you want Tomb Raider, buy a X1.

[Pintheshadows]

Online petitions. The worst thing to happen to the internet since Tumblr.

[peshkavusCA]

PS4 fanboys here keep referring PC as the Master Race but I think it's the other way around ;). Just saying...

[finite]

The IP Bloodborne is not owned by sony

http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#case... so this would mean, since Sony does own the IP, FromSoftware is clear to bring the game to other platforms. Also the next Tomb Raider is a console exclusive timed exclusive and is coming to other platforms.

[kenshiro100]

Sony HELPED with the game, therefore they OWN the IP.

Why is this so hard to understand?

[Ninver]

Hahaha I'm glad i will be playing this gem tonight.

[Chinkyinc18]

Cause I've never heard a Sony or Microsoft owner complain about certain exclusive games on one's platform and not the other. Selective memory, it's a hell of a drug.

[kpat1982]

Don't think it's as much of PC gamers wanting to get Bloodborne, more that PC elitist ass bags call console gamers peasants at any given chance then proceed to cry and beg for console games.

It is kinda funny tbh

[-Lawless-]

Bottom Line. You want it, buy the console.

[thecowsaysmoo]

Wow, typical PC users I swear.

[Stenmark]

As a PC elitist,this game needs to be and should be played on PS4.I will purchase PS4 just because of this game.

[Sgt_Throatpunch]

This petition is great news! Not because it will change anything, because it won't. Bloodborne will never come to another platform. This game is easily a system seller. This news is great because this kind of buzz will bring attention to the game/system and likely increase sales.

[Vanfernal]

Bloodborne is a Sony game. As is Demon's Souls. It's not that hard a concept to grasp.

[Stopher92]

So, they'll pay hundreds, sometimes thousands on a gaming rig and they won't fork out a few hundred for the PS4 to play Sony's amazing exclusives? Absolutely pathetic. Get a PS4 already. PC gamer logic....I swear

[GundalfDeGrej]

Lol at "betrayed" (and the petition in general).

Still, it would be nice if PC only players got to play it at one point. It seems like an awesome game. It would probably sell a bunch as well and everyone wins.

As it stands though - If you want it, buy a PS4. While PC is the best way to play imo, it can't have everything.

[soniqstylz]

Master race my ass.

[CryLessGameMore]

Asking for bloodborne is like asking for god of war. Not going to happen

[ArnoDorian]

PC Master race at its finest

[Donnywho]

This game is Glorious, just get a Ps4. DO it.

[Tankbusta40]

So in 5 years when Star citizen gets released can I make a petition demanding it comes to wii u?

[shadow_satey]

@blitz0623 So much truth! Lol

[plmkoh]

Can people here use the term 'master race' correctly. When used in the gaming context it's only satirical or derogatory. You NEVER use it to refer yourself or something you think is a positive.

[redaxis]

cut a little budget from your next graphics card to buy a ps4 then u get to play this game... really dont get what the PC elites are thinking...

[Relientk77]

Buy a PS4 then

[lordstark]

The nerds need to deal with the fact that this is a co developed Sony/From Software game and that the only way this will EVER see the light of the day on the PC is if Sony agrees to it. Just like Demon Souls, Want to play it ? Buy, rent or borrow a PS4 and call it a day lol.

[BellePelouse]

This is a foul note

[zodiac909]

So now, "Exclusive" = "betrayal" *Facepalm*

[22CobraKing]

Hearing this makes me think if pc players are just jealous. They say pc the best exclusives and console players can stick with their exclusives. Come on its not Microsoft's term of exclusive.

[Bengaroo]

LMAO absolutely cringeworthy.

[Ikki_Phoenix]

salty pc fanboys
i thought you dont like peasants games

[g-nome]

You lose some , you lose some more.

[Haru]

pathetic master race

[finite]

OH well PC Master race get everything... emulation or wait https://youtu.be/7pFWcX5cIK...

[90Supra]

Why?

Most people signing that petition would probably end up getting the game from torrents anyway...

Not worth to time or money to port it for Sony, i think...

[corroios]

Buy a PS4 and play the game. Really simple and fast.

[ikarodemon]

I'm PC player. And i dont have a PS4! But i think every plataform need his exclusives. This is healthy for the games scene!

[2paclives]

I love it. Salty pc gamers are mad because they don't get one of the best games. Waah

[Arty84]

Ok so wheres the petition against most if not all game companies of their betrayal towards console players for not applying sales prices at the same pace or quantity as pc players do?

[gamer7804]

Apparently an Amazon region has listed the game for pc. So I think there is a good chance it will eventually release on pc as well

[Tankbusta40]

Maybe 2 years from now like gta... So sick of pc people demanding everything and making fun of consoles

[Elvick]

Amazon France, who is hilariously wrong all the time.

[gamer7804]

Should have said chance instead of good chance, honestly.

[Sheikh Yerbouti]

No where near a betrayal because it is a new IP. Now if you bought a popular game on a particular system for years and thus had every expectation they would have it on the system or have it multiplat (i.e., Tomb Raider), your cries of betrayal may be warranted.

[alabtrosMyster]

While I get the push for PC version of pretty much every game out there, if only for preservation purposes... I don't think they have to do it, Sony would not allow one of their IPs to be released on PC, they would not do this for Uncharted, God of War, etc. why Bloodborne all of a sudden?

[DevilishSix]

I can taste the salty tears lol.

[XhiXExtreme]

ahhhhh the butthurt from the PS4 Fanboys.......
