I don't get the obsession with wanting to buy studios. You buy a studio, you incur risk, risk in paying more employees, when IMO it makes more sense to stay 2nd party and just have them contractually obligated to make exclusive games. If the game ends up well, then they could sign future games, and or buy out the IP itself.

Just my thoughts. Also some studios may not want to be bought out.

I feel the original point was worded a little poorly, but was later clarified, as you said. 

Some of these later posts are a pretty sad attack on another user. 

If that was the case then her post should've been somthing like:

"Hopefully they dont buy them if this game ends up meh"

Fahrenheit remake is not on Ps4 if they was Sony studio we would have all the games on ps4 too

I'm not sure on the exact money that is required or the costs, but another aspect is the actual return the game will bring in. I can understand the wanting to buy a studio if it puts out a really high quality game that sells, but what if the game ends up selling poorly. Wanting to buy a studio just for the sake of it is something I don't understand.

But yes, I do see what you are saying with the bolded. 

Should have clarified that from the beginning. I guess the main question that needs to ask, is it financially more viable to outright buy a studio, or have them be a second party. 

Highly unlikely but I guess it's possible if The Order sells really well.

EDIT: Trash's Warning

This could have both good and bad things. But if it means the studio can keep going and keep pumping out quality titles, you'll hear no complaints from me.

The game seems like it's built to make profit so commercial success is almost a sure thing. Then, with the second title they'll have more funds allotted for multiplayer, expanding the lore/universe and making a game in the same scope of Uncharted 2. It makes sense for Sony to pick them up but as others have pointed out... why didn't they do that with Insomniac?
