Sony does what Microsoft, Google or Amazon should be doing: buying studios that produce games that actually have an impact on device sales and platform power. https://t.co/6QAFQ4xwtK

-Wanted to acquire Insomniac for a long time
-Haven't looked at what to do w/ Sunset Overdrive
-Ratchet & Clank "vital" series now & in the future
-Insomniac will manage their own (new & old) IP how they see best
Shawn Layden, after the news of Sony's acquisition of Insomniac Games:

"things like Ratchet & Clank are certainly vital series in the present and future. That’s what we’re concentrating on". The future of #RatchetandClank is looking VERY VERY bright ?https://t.co/FafJMA2Sq8
I chatted with @ShawnLayden about Sony's acquisition of @insomniacgames, what it means for the studio's development of both existing and new IP (like Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet & Clank) and Worldwide Studios approach to talent acquisitionshttps://t.co/q3WEqdzm0r

Sony looking to put PlayStation exclusives on PC probably means like a Killzone game or something. But c'mon, Shawn. Put Dreams on PC. https://t.co/NyuMjEZpgQ

Really hoping this acquisition by Sony doesn't ruin the @stormlandvr release on the Rift. Or any future @insomniacgames games for that matter. #VR #VirtualReality #VRGamers #VRGaming

Sony Acquires Insomniac Games https://t.co/ig7nT78mxk via @uploadvr
July headline "6 VR Developers Sony Could Buy To Secure PSVR 2’s Future" @Hero_Kvatch wrote "the fact that Insomniac is sitting on this much VR experience and hasn’t yet made a PSVR game is maddening. It probably won’t ever happen. . ."

Not only is it likely a new Spider-Man game is being made, I expect Insomniac is doing a new Ratchet and Clank too. https://t.co/wWOGw7KGt5 As for Spider-Man I can't see Disney through Marvel Games stopping them from making more if the next one is as successful as the 1st.

Man Sony just cant stop copying their competitors. They copied the WiiMote with the Move. They copied Halo with Killzone. They copied Wii U with the Touchpad. They copied Xbox with the COD exclusive deal. Now they are copying Microsoft by buying studios.
