Eh, talent can also be built through acquisition. I'm not saying that in regards to Insomniac, but overall. I agree that building your own studios is very effective, but through the proper training and care for the work, acquisitions can be as well (as Guerrilla Games, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch, among others, have all proven).

Yeah that's true, Naughty Dog, Guerilla and Sucker Punch were acquired. But they built their house on PlayStation.. then again so did Insomniac. I just think at this point a developer on the level of Insomniac are better off independent. Their current model works for them, even if they do most of their shit with Sony. They still have the option to do a Sunset Overdrive, a Fuse or whatever the fuck.

sunset sold poorly on xbox microsoft didn't want to make a second one

fuse was a mediocre game. 

 

 

also to reply to the first reply. nobody really builds big studios from scratch anymore that takes too long and game industry lacks talent now because a lot are leaving to other industries
