Kadokawa has confirmed that it has received a letter of intent from Sony to acquire the company. Kadokawa owns a majority share in FromSoftware, as well as several anime production houses.
FromSoft’s games have been on my ‘I will buy anything they release’ list for quite some time, and I’ve never been disappointed with one. There’s not much at this point that would get me to stop buying their stuff on release, but a PlayStation account sign-in requirement on PC would definitely accomplish it.
I think you’re not seeing your situation clearly here. There’s a big chance their games will become PlayStation exclusives like Bloodborne. Might be ported to PC after a few years.
I’m a little hopeful that Sony is going to get better at PC support. The Japanese PC gaming market has doubled in size a few times in the last 10 years but companies at Sony’s scale can be slow to adapt. Maybe it’ll take them another 10 years but I think eventually they’ll give up on exclusives.

It’s Blizzard all over again. It’s just so tiring with everything going to shit.

Considering their track record with Bloodborne, I doubt it.
