I'd be shocked to find out that Sony's never made that offer. If Insomniac doesn't want to be contractually a Sony subsidiary, then the best course of action for Sony is to maintain a strong relationship.
4 ≈ One
Insomniac is not an indie dev
If you want to use it like that then Sony is also an indie dev
Anyway... yea Insomniac is doing fine

| Kyuu said: Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but was it not Sony who assigned Insomniac of all developers -including their own- for the making of Spider-Man? I'm pretty sure they will consider acquiring them not long after the game is out. A lot of people hate to admit it, but Sony is the force that kept Insomniac afloat. Without their strong relationship throughout, Insomniac may have gone bankrupt or regressed to a small studio. All it takes is a few commercial failures like Fuse and, arguably, Sunset Overdrive. Publishers' interest in Insomniac will only skyrocket if Spider-Man becomes a huge franchise. But then, Insomniac will owe it to Sony for continuing to recognize their talents and entrusting them with such a big project. |
I don't really agree with this. How many publishers these days publish original externally developed titles?? EA, Activision, Ubisoft, and Take Two don't. I think Bethesda does, but I've heard terrible things about partnerships with them. Besides, anyone who publishes will want IP rights which Insomniac is reluctant to give up (see: Sunset Overdrive).
The only company I see them leaving Sony for is Microsoft.
Insomniac is an independent developer, "indie" for short.
Since when does indie mean a 5-10 person studio? There was never such a rule.
CDprojectred is also an indie developer, as well.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
Sony and Insomniac are pretty much like childhood friends. Sure Sony tried to trick Insomniac a few times into mariage and Insomniac cheated on Sony because of it with Microsoft. (While it was actually because of the mariage contract in which Sony wants control over everything Insomniac does).
But in the end these two companies really flourish when working together critically and financially. Sunset overdrive was a great game, but Insomniac is audience is on the Playstation platform. Sony has no good reason to buy Insomniac, since they evidently like to work with Sony and the PS audience likes their games, especially Ratchet and Clank.
So Insomniac stay independent and primarily work on Playstation projects (We want new R&C games in the rebooted universe). And Sony should only buy Insomniac if they are in financial trouble.
Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
Nah its fine how it is. Hopefully ratchet 2 remake next year.

I hope Sony buys PlatinumGames XD

As long as their independent its okay..... if someone has to buy them, Id prefer that be sony though.
They make really good games, I think alot of sony guys would miss them, if suddenly they only made MS games.
