It's bullshit and I bet their reasoning is for PVP "balance" or something incredibly dumb. Team Ninja's Nioh 2 and Wo Long had much smaller budgets, sell maybe half of what a Souls game does yet offer Ultrawide. Same goes for Returnal and that PC port is one of the best I've seen in a long time. From Software continually getting a pass for tech incompetence is crazy.

Imagine the shitstorm if console players had to choose between playing online or a 1/3 of their screen being black bars.
