It could quite simply be that Sony already knew Bluepoint was on the chopping block when they made the request.
So they just brushed them off with a deflecting “nah, FromSoft doesn’t want to do that” response.

Every time this comes up I say the same damn thing.
“FromSoft doesn’t own Bloodborne, this is a decision that rests entirely on Sony”

There could be some fineprint in the contract that gives FromSoft a right to veto or something in that regard. Or it could just be respecting wishes, as others said. We can’t know and it doesn’t really matter either.

It does, but it’s about respecting the wishes of original creator. They want to keep working with him so don’t want to mess up their long term relation with a short term benefit.
