Good move by Sony, after Insomniac, they should probably sure up some of their relations with studios.

As with many of these things, it probably makes more financial sense for them to be part of one company

Uhm, what? Insomniac are creating both a new Ratchet & Clank game and a new Resistance, while creating a multiplatform title. What exactly is wrong here?

Quantic Dream should be like Insomniac in this regard. Their freedom means they're free to use whatever tools and platforms they wish to try and further the cause of better, immersive storytelling in videogames, and being bought by Sony is limits what they can do.

Well, it is a spin-off Ratchet and Clank, made by their new studio

They are making Resistance 3 because they had a contract with Sony

And Naughty Dog don't seem too limited

Sony has lost an exclusive developer. While Insomniac is still developing exclusives now, they are likely going to move more and move multiplatform.

Depending what happens with the new Ratchet and Resistance games could mean the end of Insominac developing in those franchises.

Yes please. That would give them a very strong creative and financial backbone.

I would definitely be impressed with Sony if they made this move. It's really the smartest thing to do considering how big of a gamble Heavy Rain was and how well it ended up selling.
