Sony can now hug Sackboy like he’s their own – after an unrevealed amount money changed hands, Media Molecule is now wholly-owned by Sony Computer Entertainment.

 

As it says on the Media Molecule site, “After a whirlwind romance, and one beautiful child together, we are immensely excited to announce our engagement to our long term best friend and life partner, Sony Computer Entertainment!”

 

With their only franchise being PlayStation-exclusives, Media Molecule’s acquisition comes to no surprise at all. They may not have a long list of games, but Sackboy drew in quite a long list of awards during his run at the spotlight, and he continues to receive post-launch support in the form of game-based costumes.

 

Now, the then small development studio will have the resources of SCE to back them up. Hopefully, the only direction that the acquisition will take them is forward.
