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. |
LOL?

Dat backlash.

So what ?
The Overstrike video has only 100k views. Is that supposed to be huge ? Sure it seemed like Overstrike was the better game, but we only saw a cinematic trailer and no gameplay. It would've been a tiny seller anyway as the genre is overcrowded and anything that isn't 85+ doesn't get much recognition and honestly I don't think it would've reached much more than a 70 Metascore.
I believe Overstrike would have doubled Fuse sales. Does it matter ? No.

I'm not looking at the views I'm looking at the likes/dislikes. Look at the difference. I personally was interested in overstrike and then they changed it to Fuse and it ruined my excitement for the game and ultimately caused Insomniac a lost sale. I'm sure I'm not the only one who went through this. Also @bold, yeah it does matter since you were arguing that it didn't matter much in terms of sales...so...yeah...
All you're doing is assuming whereas I'm actually showing you that people were interested in Overstrike and that they stopped caring after Insomniac turned it into a generic third person shooter.
