The whole last two gens sony bought every studio making at least a decent game thats their thing (they needed to do that because Sony itself does not have alot of good "own" ip) So my answer is they probably will.
With buying all those devs sony made itself an important player in the console business before that it was just a platform with people buying third party games.

Pretty much exactly like that^^
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
When was the last time Sony bought a dev company?
Should have grabbed them earlier, they had talent and not so much reputation.

I could be wrong here, but I believe Sony did try to purchase Insomniac but they wanted to remain independent.
I'd say wait on The Order. If it turns out great, then sure. Similar to Sucker Punch.

I'm not sure if it's their most recent purchase, but Sony bought Sucker Punch (infamous series) in August 2011 and they bough Media Molecule in March 2010 I think.

If I'm correct, Sucker Punch in 2011.

Going by those last 2 posts, they're probably about due to buy one. Overdue even!

Sure, and now Sony still owns all those devs and IP, so they have much less need to continue doing so compulsively.
They are in a fine position for organic profit growth in games for this generation, without dev acquisitions.
When The order releases and it is received well comercially and critically that is when sony will buy them. Like they did with sucker punch.
