Many people should be familiar with the "insomnia group". After all, their masterpieces run through PS1-PS4."Marvel's Spider-Man 2" released some time ago has been called "the best superhero game in history" by many players.Now, from X (Twitter), Tieba, to domestic and foreign game media, everyone is hotly discussing the leakage of information about Sony’s “Insomnia Group”... Insomniac Games (Insomniac Games) is a game developer under Sony Game Studio, with high efficiency, good liver, and stable quality.



It is such a company that was stolen by a hacker gang a while ago...

On December 12, the hacker team Ryhsida stole 1.67TB of data in an illegal intrusion targeting the "Insomnia Group", including more than 1.3 million files, including upcoming game information, production plans for the next few years, and even the personal information of some employees. It can be said that their pants were stripped off.

The organization also threatened that we would publish the stolen data within 7 days!Unless someone bids for these data with a starting price of 50 Bitcoins (approximately $2 million), anyone can bid, including Sony.

If you want to blackmail, just blackmail, and I heard that the auction is so good...


Since no ransom was received, the private information was gradually released after the deadline.

The information that has been disclosed not only includes past game files,A lot of it appears to be hands-on demos, test footage, concept art, cast and possible new characters for the upcoming Wolverine game, and more.

All in all, pretty bad...

We won’t spoil the specific game information here. It’s like knowing the plot of a movie in advance will reduce the movie-watching experience by half. The same is true for games.


In addition to specific game information, even company employee vacation plan information has been exposed.

“Don’t be overworked, you can take paid vacation”…


There are also plans for future releases. In the next 8-10 years, the "Insomnia Group" plans to maintain the development pace of one work every two years and will continuously develop five 3A masterpieces, most of which are related to Marvel.

In response to this, netizens complained wildly: "If we count from 23 this year, it will be equivalent to four works being developed at the same time, a master of time management."

"Marvel is treating the Insomniac team as donkeys."

"People in the insomnia group don't die suddenly in two days, it's so annoying."


Of course, some people complain that this is a formula developed for the New Year.

However, no matter what, players can rest assured. It turns out that Sony is not dead, but hiding it. It is still worth looking forward to...


There are even foreign players who learn industry knowledge from these materials.

At present, most of the games owned by the "Insomnia Group" are already profitable or expected to be profitable. Only "Ratchet & Clank: Time Jump" failed to meet the return on investment. This game lost US$8 million and the return on investment was -10%.

In an internal PPT produced by the "Insomnia Group" in early 2022, it showed the game group's research on 3A games: Compared with 3A games, medium-sized games only require one-third of the funds and half the development time, but the net sales of two medium-sized games can be similar to that of one 3A game, and three may even exceed the latter.


All kinds of information, news about the leakage of information about the "Insomnia Group" has been flying all over the country and abroad these days, but the "Insomnia Group" is not the first victim.

Leak incidents in the gaming industry are commonplace. In 2003, Valve's "Half-Life 2" was leaked. Hackers stole the source code of an unfinished version of "Half-Life 2". Later, a version that could be played in advance began to circulate on the Internet, which eventually caused B to delay the release and redo the game.

In recent years, hacker teams have been "crazy" in their attacks on game manufacturers...

In 2020, many unannounced games including Capcom's "Street Fighter 6" and "Dragon's Dogma 2" were leaked, and the new characters of "Street Fighter 6" were revealed.

In 2021, hackers stole and sold some key game codes of games such as "The Witcher 3" and "Cyberpunk 2077" by Polish jackasses...

In 2022, hacker Arion Kurtaj hacked Rockstar and shared nearly 90 unreleased "Grand Theft Auto 6" videos online.


This is not over yet. They will leak your game information in advance before your game is online. They will attack your server after your game is online, making your game run unstable. This will cause economic losses to the manufacturer and make players who really like games unhappy.

Nowadays, this group of hackers are like cyber pirates and have become a nightmare for game manufacturers.

You pay the ransom, then this matter is endless. Today I will blackmail you, and tomorrow I will blackmail you. If you don’t pay the ransom, then your unreleased game will be naked.

Fortunately, in recent years, the government has paid more and more attention to cybercrime and directly cracked down on such incidents↓↓


I hope that things like this will become less and less common in the future.

After all, this group of "pirates" extorted not only the years of hard work of those game developers, but also destroyed the long-awaited happiness of gamers around the world.
