Holy gak that is an awesome username. Please tell me your army is called Kabal of the Fragile Breath. Morathi's Darkest Sin has some competition here for best handle, I think.
Sony is too heavily involved in the development and marketing for it to come to PC, unfortunately. The game exists to move PS4s; after the fiasco with the PS3 having perceived low value due to limited options, they're not going to give that up. Console developers aren't, I believe, dumb enough to believe that "PC Gaming is Dead" anymore, and believe that they might be able to convince a few more sales of PS4s via developing a line of exclusives.
However, as a "PC Master Race" type, what money I would invest in entertainment like that goes to my PC, not a console; I can get more personal value out of dollars spent on that (in terms of upgrades once in a while) than a new expensive console. Also, I'm mostly a strategy person (one of the reasons I like From Software's stuff; you have to plan your approach and think about what you're doing; levelling, gear and whatnot are in support of that, not the prime focus as in so many MMOs and "conventional" RPGs), one or two good looking exclusives will never get me to spend hundreds of dollars on a console.
Their strategy must work somewhere otherwise, so the theory goes, they wouldn't do it, I'm just not their market. Still seems a little odd though; consoles are often sold at a loss with investment recouped on services, games and DLC, so if Sony had some sort of profit-sharing deal for their support of Bloodborne, would it matter that much if it got a PC release?
Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.
The director even said Bloodborne is meant to be the spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, and, as pointed out, Sony has been very heavily involved in the funding and promotion of the game, so, no, I really do not see it getting ported. If it was a timed exclusive, they would have said so already. I'll take the "I told you so" if I end up wrong, but I really do not think you can count on it coming to anything other than PS4.

If they do port it, I can comeback and shout "I TOLD YA SO!" at ya.
If they don't, I can just say "Just wait for it. It will come.".
Hah!
I don't know whether to laugh or face-palm. Well done, I suppose.
If I wanted to follow it up with my smart-aleck nature, I could say "Or I could block you and never hear either" but I wouldn't really do that.

I need to somehow scrounge the money to get a PS4, because I absolutely loved Souls, and Bloodborne looks even better. Something I didn't imagine was possible.
“There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.”
I'm in the same boat.. I've held off getting a PS4 because, up until now, pretty much every game has been released on both PS3 and PS4. And, I'm not paying £400 for a graphical upgrade.
Bloodborne is the first game that has made me feel like I am missing out..

It's amazing, except this boss I'm on. He's easily the most poorly designed boss I've ever encountered.
Spoiler:
Rom.

That was a boss I got stuck on for about a day and a half dozen tries.
Spoiler:
It's kind of a DPS race. During the first spider summon, take your time and kill the spiders since Rom won't do anything. After that hit Rom as hard as you can, even as he's teleporting away because you'll continue to do damage. After that it's all about movement, because the spiders generally aren't quick enough to hit you if you're on the move and Rom will only do his ranged attack if you're far away.
Additional advice I got was to make sure your HP is above 900 to survive whatever hits you might take, and to maybe also make sure you've hit the soft cap (25) for either Skill or Strength, depending on your weapon.
But yeah, Rom is probably the worse boss in the game. I generally think any boss that has to use adds to make it difficult is a poor design choice.

This is a weird mentality to me, shouldn't you wait till the system builds up a decent library of games instead of buying it for one game? What if you get bored of that game for awhile or are not in the mood to play it then you won't really have any other interesting games to play on that system.
Sony published franchises for their consoles stopped appearing on PC near the end of the PS2 era, and even then it wasn't common. By the PS3 era, they were solidly in competition (and not doing well about it) with Microsoft. First party published games stopped releasing on PC. By the end of the PS3 era, they had so many consoles on the market, they simply didn't need the PC market anymore. The PS4 is handily outselling the Xbox One internationally and even faster than the PS3 sold, so there's even less reason to start putting their first party console on PC.
Seriously, it won't happen.
Though I don't doubt that in 2 years From will announce Darkborne for all platforms.

That's precisely what I am doing.. I was making the point that this is the first game (being a new generation console exclusive) that I feel I'm missing out on from only owning a PS3. But, it will probably take a few more games (and you have to think that now there will be more and more that will only be possible on the new machinery) to actually make me seriously think about going out and buying one.

Reminds me of the Dukes Dear Freja
(Spiders,DPS race,will use ranged attack if at a distance,the boss isnt the one that kills you 99% of the time.)
but I wouldn't really do that.
