Sony bought Insomniac for $229 Million–and that was mostly in cold, hard cash
In August last year, Sony purchased Insomniac Games, developer of the PS4 exclusive Spider-Man. That game has gone on to be the most successful superhero games of all time – selling 13 million copies. Buying Insomniac was a logical move; the developer had worked with Sony on several exclusive games and franchises before, including Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank, and Resistance. Insomniac branched out a little with games like Fuse for EA, and the originally Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive – which itself laid the foundation for Spider-Man thanks to its interesting traversal mechanics.
