I hope the Bluepoint game shows up just so you'll shut up and stop repeating the same nonsense.
So you think that the Bluepoint boss lied in the IGN interview, that SSM lied when announced that Bluepoint were one of the support teams, that the game credits of GoWR lied when included the whole Bluepoint team or that several Bluepoint workers lie on LinkedIn when detailing the projects they worked in, and some of them specifying the related periods?

You do seem to have a really hard time with understanding nuance or how multiple things can be happening at the same time or how not every information is public. You act like that on various subjects adopting very inflexible positions and wild takes that you then pretend you have proof of.

According to you Sony can't acquire anyone and Bluepoint hasn't been working on their new game, all pretty absurd takes. I can't wait for how you are going to act once we get more info.

I have no problem with accepting I'm wrong when facts prove me wrong because I value facts over my opinion.

I would have prefered that after Demon's Souls Bluepoint would have grow enough to remaster Bloodborne for PS5 and PC, and at the same time would have worked with other Bluepoint team (which apparently doesn't exist) helping FromSoftware to work in Bloodborne 2.

But the facts don't point in the direction I'd have prefered, but instead say otherwise: their boss said that they evolved to work on original games, then it gets announced that it's GoWR and the whole Bluepoint team gets listed in the game credits and some of their workers detail the projects they worked in and when.

But even if I like them or not, the facts are what they are, I don't choose them.

Same goes with acquisitions, I'd like to see Sony announce Capcom and FromSoft acquisitions but the facts say what they say and I post them. As an example, I'd love to see a proper source where the random Twitter user got to say that Sony has in the budget $5.1B (he posted an article that is wrong, facts say there's $140-$150M remaining for this year after the budget reduction and what they spent in the first 2 years) and that will add $8B-ish more on top of this supposed (fake) $5.1B and everybody is quoting that but apparently there is no source mentioning that because the article he shows in Twitter doesn't mention it an as far as I know Sony didn't say anything similar recently.

But again, I'd love to see a real quote from Sony saying they plan to make acquisitions in the long term and that they increased their acquistion budget for this year to $13.1B instead, and that they lied to their investors because of potatos with the $140-$150M thing.

What about pointed discussion threads in communities or gaming industry for certain long running rumors? Like that old catch-all thread for blue box/abandoned conspiracies?

Sure, anyone can start something like that.

I'll make an 'Unsubstantiated rumors' thread today.
