It’s a great platformer, don’t get me wrong. But you’re telling me that a PC version of Sackboy made more sense than Bloodborne? Come oooooon.

You can't believe that they're choosing the most marketable games if they're omitting Bloodborne. The rumor I heard long ago at this point is that From and Sony have a contract dispute, so one won't do more work until they're paid, and the other refuses to pay. In situations like this, it's not uncommon for one company, like Sony, to own the rights to the name and story while the other, From Soft, might own the code base. The rumor was that the Demon's Souls remake by Bluepoint got around the same problem by not using any of From's code and that they might do the same thing with Bloodborne, but no signs of that yet. It wouldn't be out of line with Sony's remaster/remake strategy though.

Huh, I guess I'm one of the 63,000 who actually picked up sackboy. Shame, it's actually a lot of fun if you have someone to play multiplayer with. Reminds me a lot of Super Mario 3D world.

Hard to know what % of total sales that is. Might be that 90% of people picked it up outside of Steam
