Just because a company decides to let go of its gaming segment doesn't mean that suddenly the game developers will turn into architects, professional singers or cleaning ladies.

They will just form new studios, probably with the majority of the original team and then start to make games again.
Independant or not. If their games are good enough they're going to get all the money they want to make a game.

In case of Insomniac, they chose to make an FPS, whether it was Overstrike or Fuse, I don't think it would've mattered much in terms of sales. Now even if they go bankrupt, they will either join other devs and make them better or found a new development company.


Who will fund them? It's not all easy going if your studio shuts down or your parent company goes bankrupt. Who will fund the next Naughty Dog Game or the next Media molecule game? If it weren't for Sony there wouldn't even be little big planet and future MM projects. Think about it hard. I have and I am putting my full gaming fund into sony. Also Sony said in the next 2 years they are expecting a 2% profit on about 10billion in revenue on playstation down from 8% (same revenue) that they forcasted (probably to fund more investments though).

Consumers?  Like it always goes, make an good attractive game for consumers and you will have enough fans funds for the next one?


Consumers aren't going to fund a $10-$50 million budget game.
