Many of you are clamoring for a sequel for Bloodborne or a remake but it doesn't make sense that if this game was so popular and successful why haven't they moved forward with the IP. This can be said for many games that people are clamoring for Banjo Kazooie, Socom, Splinter Cell etc. These companies like money and I could not imagine them sitting on guaranteed money. There has to be something else said about these beloved games not being continued. Could it be business stuff (contracts, rights issues, profit splits) that stop these games from being made or is it that the companies viewed them as failures? Or do we hardcore gamers over hype too many games that don't appeal to casuals? It does seem that the most popular games (Fortnite, Roblox, COD, Minecraft etc) are hated by the hard core. In my opinion, both Microsoft (Shadow Run fps) and Sony (SOCOM) are sitting on gold mines but again what do I know?

They spent 400m to make a game that shut down in 2 weeks, maybe they don't love money after all.

You are implying there's common sense where there might not.

Answering your silly question:
Fromsoftware tend to move on to new projects. Even though Bloodborne was their doing, it is Sony property and probably have to do more with Sony than From. However Sony is not good in the head at moment with recent projects and ideas. Thinking From is only about Bloodborne when we had things like Sekiro, Elden Ring and Armored Core shows me how shallow some fellas are in terms of appretiation of what Fromsoft represents in the market.
Yes.

They can't move forward with the IP, it's a Fromsoft game. They even closed Japan Studio so it would be even harder. Bluepoint can only work on one game at a time and they did Demon's Souls because when work on that started, Bloodborne was not old enough.
Sony is currently buying Fromsoft to make the Bloodborne remake and a sequel, so I hope that answers your questions.

Gamers in general massively overhype old franchises they liked 10+ years ago. Nobody gives a shit about Banjo-Kazooie except a bunch of weird nerds on X, Microsoft literally made a brand new Battletoads after years of people whining about it, and it was forgotten within hours of release. "oh", one of those weird nerds might say, "it didn't have this or that and the art style wasn't good etc etc etc" - yea exactly. These companies can't make the exact game every single person whining about it has in their head. I think that Sega is going to learn this lesson when they bring out their new Crazy Taxi and Golden Axe and whatever.
Shadowrun FPS didn't sell well on Xbox 360 so I don't know WTF OP is thinking. Heck what happened there was people complained that it was a FPS.

Since u mentioned banjo-kazooie i'll say this. Microsoft buying rare is still one of the worst things to happen in gaming history. I 100% believe that if rare was owned by nintendo that a new banjo-kazooie, a new conker, a new diddy kong racing etc would sell millions upon millions of copies and make millions of dollars of profit.

*The last splinter cell sold like dogshit.
*Bloodborne sold in the zone of mid especially compared to Horizon Zero Dawn. Shocker for neogaf who cant comprehend Aloy's greatness.
* Banjo was never as popular as you think it was. Conkers Bad Fur Day and Blinks The Time Sweeper was way more resonant to the gaming public back then.

The activists who make those games most likely grew up in rich enough families so they don't care much about money.They spent 400m to make a game that shut down in 2 weeks, maybe they don't love money after all.
It's more about power and influence for them.

Yes I do, that's why I don't buy $70 games that go on sale months later for a fraction of that price. Total waste of money.
