“I feel he’s [in bringing back Bloodborne], however he’s so profitable, and so busy. So he can’t do it himself, however he doesn’t need anybody else to the touch it. In order that’s my concept, and the PlayStation workforce respects his want. That’s my guess and concept… I’m not revealing any secret data.”
