Insomniac vs Bethesda purchase. Who got the better deal?

[Boris Reznikov]

Sony paid just over $200m dollars for Insomniac games whilst Microsoft paid $7.4bn for Bethesda. So far who do you think has the better deal?

Since Sony bought Insomniac, they’ve released Spider-Man remastered, Miles Morales and Ratxhet and Clank rift apart. All have gone on to be huge million dollar selling games and have made the PS5 a must get console.

Bethesda on the other hand haven’t released any games yet but Starfield will be huge and a system seller whilst Microsoft has added their extensive library on Gamepass which has boosted the service.

So overall which one do you think was the bette deal?

We won’t know till Bethesda has had time to cook

Insomniac easily right now, then a sequel to sunset overdrive might be in the works and another spiderman

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Microsoft because they got IP. Insomniac really only have two trademark games and one of them wasn’t very popular.

Although no one else could have brought in the money and prestige insomniac has in the past 3 years. So sony def got more than their moneys worth

Fallout, doom, and elderscrolls alone are worth 100’s of millions in IP

 

[the_FUTURE]

we'll have to see what it does for gamepass in about 3 years time.

Even though Insomniac talent will be a blessing for years to come u cant ignore how many IPs bethesda brings to the table which will generate hundreds of millions of dollars. In short Insomniacs deal was a steal for Sony while Microsofts purchase is a strategic move

This.

Microsoft needed the IP, it satisfied that gap in their library.

Sony needed someone to make AAA, fun spider-man games

Bethesda easily.

It’s like y’all don’t understand how big Bethesda is.

they are like top 3 most successful publisher of all time.

Insomniac is great but it’s just one studio.

Bethesda is fukking trash. Ever since MSFT bought them that was the final nail in the coffin. Good luck playing Fallout 4.5 next year.

Insomniac>>>(except for Sunset Boulevard which is an Xbox game)

Bethesda is NOT successful dog gtfoh.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Even when you try to be objective in these threads nikkas double down on the stupidity.

 

[Leasy]

Let Sony buy Bethesda oh my god... @Gizmo_Duck you talking stupidity when Bethesda games have a cult following which allow games like
Fallout 3 to sell 12 million
Fallout 4 13 million
New Vegas 7 million
76 close to 3 million
Morrowind 4 mil
Oblivion 10mill
Skryim 30 mill
Elder scrolls blades 120mill
Fallout shelter 150 mill

Let's not discuss Doom and other titles. It is ok that Sony didn't buy Bethesda but to call these games trash or the developers when they consisting sell close to 10milly or more on each title. Y'all are weirdos.

 

[Champion]

They paid 7B for ZeniMax, not just Bethesda.

Casual thread.

The top of your dumb as article admits they have no clue what they are talking about.

No way around it Zenimax/Bethesda has been one of the top publishers for a while now.
