Yeah I was asking cause I was curious so that was a tad aggressive, but it's all good. I think part of the difference is that Sony directly commissioned bloodborne, and was involved from the very beginning. Def finally more than just publishing.
Correct. Sony approached FROM with the idea to make a follow up to DeS, and the resulting effort is described as a "collaboration" between the two companies by Yoshida, and they're both listed as developers for the game.
It's impossible to break down exactly who was responsible for what part, but every interview seems to suggest Sony and Japan Studio were heavily involved here. This wasn't simply handing FROM a check to make a game for them.
