They were in August 2017. Publishing and investment.Even if that were true, and Deep Silver wwere brought in as a publisher, which they weren't, but for the sake of argument, lets say they were. Deep Silver didn't come in unlil the very end of 2018. That means for 3 years, Sony still wasn't doing much.
Sure some would argue that the game is too far out, and if anyone else said that, it would be a viable reason(well except Square lol, they're just as bad as Sony), but Sony is up here constantly promoting games that wont come out for another 5 years lol, so yea Sony doesn't get to use that excuse.

But yes in those 2 years they didnt do much but I'd suggest they probably had nothing to work with in that time. History already shows that the Alpha footage from Gamescom 2017 was a bit of a shock and caused friction between Shibuya and Deep Silver.
Anyway it would be nice for Sony to help out more. They've got a machine there that could really bring in some new players with the right trailer of course.
