I agree

Of course there is, Sony would pour even more money at them and they could learn a lot working with other Sony devs. |
Both those points are moot though since they're not a struggling company.... they make fantastic games on their own already as an independent developer and don't seem to be having any problems financially to where they need 'more to be poured into them'. What makes you think they need to learn anything from anyone else, when they've already proven they don't need to and do just amazing on their own already?

I don't see what's wrong with that? I use USA and United States of America interchangeably.

Yeah, but the connotation is different, right? I mean, Insomniac might be independent but they are certainly not an "indie" dev. Indie is always used to describe small teams with generally low budgets. I mean, if we want to be nitpicky we could say they are technically "indie" devs but come on...

don't really give a shit what you consider a proper or an improper description. understand?

Yeah sorry, it was just a suggestion.
Wasn't Insomniac butthurt that Sony showed a lack of interest after Resistance 2 and 3 bombed?
I never heard about a flatout offer, but you have to remember that Sony struggled last gen. As in they almost went completely bankrupt and the cost to make PS3's and lack of initial sales didn't help.
Not to mention that Resistance was far from a system seller, so any offer they made to them last gen would have been a low ball one.
Not needed when they put all their good games for Sony or Sony can pay for specific in game.

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.
