IIRC it's both a rights issue but also Sony not thinking it's worth the ROI. Bloodborne didn't actually sell all that well back in the day, it stagnated at 2 million for years and it was only back in 2022 when it was revealed it had sold 7.6 million and most of those sales were heavily discounted copies. Demon's Souls OG sold even less but it was easy enough for Sony execs to decide it was worth the risk to remake and resell the title because it's literally just Dark Souls with a slightly different name which has much stronger brand recognition than BB. Elden Ring was sold as being an open world Dark Souls with involvement from Gurmm which obviously worked out well for them. But it's such a shame because Lance McDonald, the modder behind the 60 FPS patch, has revealed that a native Windows 7 port of BB existed at some point likely used by From themselves when initially developing the game.
Pic related is from a presentation they did I think it was last year where they had the epiphany that maybe they should've gone harder in on capitalizing on their IPs and Bloodborne is nowhere to be seen. Instead, Until Dawn which had one successful game 10 years ago, then a VR spinoff and nothing else was their other horror franchise they decided they wanted to try to capitalize on with TLOU having capsized and only getting remasters and remakes now. I think this shows it's a rights issue more than anything else.
