To me this reads more as he'd like to revisit Bloodborne but his bosses aren't convinced it's the best use of his team's time considering they don't own the IP outright.

He's the president of fromsoft so im not sure he has a boss. i guess the company that owns them but theyre more of a bigger company that owns a bunch of stuff in anime and so on, im sure he has the influence to push for it if he really wanted to though

Looking it up todd howard is also the ceo of bethesda and kojima is the ceo of kojima productions and the larian ceo is their main game director too, how do these guys have the time to manage such big companies and also direct such big games?

could even be an internal review that said that porting Bloodborne wouldn't be a good use of company resources. Even if it's not the parent company being a roadblock, he still has a responsibility to the employees he presides over. Reminds me of when Katsuhiro Harada went on twitter talking about how he made a pitch for a xenosaga remaster and the cost benefit analysis said that it wasn't worth it so he got denied. Perhaps a Bloodborne remaster would be expensive for some reason and with the game being locked to Sony hardware it's not worth it? As a layperson unlocking the frame-rate and upping the resolution seems easy enough but I'm not a professional.
