In today's episode, we discuss the ransomware attack on Insomniac and the resulting industry details and future Insomniac project timelines that were leaked. As part of the leak, we also talk about sales figures for Sony's 1st party games in the PS4 and PS5 era, and what those numbers mean for Sony's present position in the industry.
