They are pretty much already 1st party, so there really is no need to buy them when Sony could buy a completely different developer that could broaden their library further.

Well, they made Sunset Overdrive not too long ago, and I believe GameStop published one of their games? So they aren't just with Sony.

I think Insomniac is one of the best studios around, and I’d very much like it to keep its independence.

I don’t think there’s any evidence to suggest falling further into Sony’s orbit would mean better software from Insomniac.

Pretty much this....If Sony owned Insomniac, I doubt we would have gotten Sunset Overdrive, which is one of the best new IPs from this generation. 

Why do you think we wouldn't get SO??? Sony was offered it, but didn't signed off because Sony wanted to keep rights of the IP. If Insominiac was property of Sony the IP would be theirs anyway so no discussion on this, more than that most of Sony studios are free to chose what they will work on.

Not necessary, why buy them when 90% of their games come exclusively to Sony anyway?

What are you talking about? I don't even know you and i've talked to you once. And the only threads I've been "defensive" or "rude" in are political threads, with OTHER users, which isn't even your business. I'm not offended by what you wrote but trying to excuse it with character assassination is just rude. 

It doesn't even matter either way, it's silly to argue definitions. I was just pointing out something I found odd, no harm meant.

Both are fine, but they had little impact on the gaming world. Whether they would have been with Sony or not.

If Sony wants to dish out money, then they need to buy a developer that broadens their library.

Did you just use indie dev and independent developer interchangeably?

they mean the same thing 

No they do not. Indie refers to small, often 5-10 person teams.  Insomniac is a major developer that happens to be 3rd party.  That is most definitely not indie.

Nope - I trust Insomniac far more than I trust Sony.

 

EDIT: Nope as in I don't want Sony taking over Insomniac.

Sony and Insomniac already have a perfect relationship. They are very close and release most games together, each sharing their knowledge, tech, and experiences. In addition they have the freedom to work with others, which actually makes them better together.

Seriously, Insomniac could not be in a better posistion. This is the kind of relationship you want in life, whether it is love, business, or other. Having a solid base which you can rely on, while still having room to grow is as good as it gets.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
