Eh, when Sony bought Naughty Dog is in an era when THQ, Majesco,Midway,Agetec's of the industry were around. There were more publishers and dev studios than grains of sand. Gaming costs so much to make all those kinds of studios are gone now. ND was just another small fish an in endless sea. Insomniac always was close with Sony. The landscape today is a handful of large publishers who own about every significant studio. Then fans asking MS to buy SEGA. SEGA is not a developer. It's a publisher. MS buying entire publishers isn't great. Some smaller studios is fine. Remember Nintendo tried to buy Namco? If that happened,imagine all the great games the published the last 15 years likely missed out on. What few Namco IP games we would have gotten be severely gimped on Wii. Maybe no Dark Souls series if they didn't publish it. I wasn't happy when Sony used to own 20% of Square. Glad they don't now.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
