Just saying, Sony NEEDED a hit exclusive when The Order came out, and RAD, to put it bluntly, shit the bed that Sony had made for them. Until Dawn and Bloodborne had to earn their success by word of mouth, Sony did not really have huge marketing pushes for either. The Order had huge blowouts , including a reveal trailer as hype generating as HZD, as well as total marketing support by Sony.
We can argue the reasons why The Order 1886 turned out like it did all day. But It's beyond me how people can't understand why Sony might not be interested in funding another AAA from the studio.
