... I wonder.... geddesmond do you know what a publisher is?

Yes publishers are responsible for getting the games out to the public. What are you getting at here


LOL... yes. They do a lot more.

I'd like to remind you that not all the time publishers fund a project. Just because Sony published the games and own the rights doesn't mean they funded them. Now what I'm saying here is usually when someones independant, it means they've done something without any help so to speak and why would a company thats sold over 30 million games worldwide need funding on games that probably had a 20m budget. As a company Insomniac would make more money if they funded the game themselfs and I really doubt they needed the funding .

Its been said on record that sony helps insomniac out like it was a first party. They work alongside sony first party devs and use sony resources, They even shared the building with Sony devs before. Probably still do. They get dev kits the same time as Sony's first parties?

 

End off. Even the ceo of insomniac said we are like a firsty party dev but with the freedom of being independent

I don't even know where that came from. I'm talking about the funding of the game not the relationship between the two. I even said sony and Insomniac have a great relationship but none of that mentions funding. All I'm saying is an independant bussiness usually falls into a proprietorship and they fund there projects and suffer the loses or take the profits of that bussiness.

 

So if Sony funds Insomniac then it takes the whole independant status away from them right?Like the word independent does mean not relying on others for aid and support. Someone needs to put me straight because its the publishers job to manufacter, market and advertise the games. Publishers don't always fund a game and yous all know what independent means

 

 

 


you have a skewed idea of what independent means in this situation.

Well can you please explain then.
