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).

No I don't need to because it's a stupid thought.
You really think no one would buy Naughty Dog, Media Molecule or Sony Santa Monica ?
Also even if no one buys them it wouldn't be a problem. Quite a few developers are independent. How do you think they get funded ? They go to publishers, show them their ideas and sign a contract when the publisher likes what the developer does.
Apparently you don't have any faith in these studios or else you would know that no publisher would turn down ideas from these studios.
