About Ted Price
- Insomniac Games, Inc.
- is an American video game developer based in Burbank, California.
- It was founded in 1994 by Ted Price as Xtreme Software, and was renamed Insomniac Games a year later.
- The company is most known for developing several early PlayStation mascots, Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet, and Clank, as well as the Resistance franchise, 2014's Sunset Overdrive and 2018's Spider-Man. The company's first project was Disruptor, for the first PlayStation console, whose poor sales almost led to the company's bankruptcy.

- Insomniac closely collaborated with Sony Computer Entertainment (later renamed Sony Interactive Entertainment) and created two game franchises, Ratchet & Clank, and Resistance.
- The two franchises proved to be both a critical and financial success for the company.
- The company would also begin work on its first multiplatform game Fuse in 2013 (with Electronic Arts as its publisher), but the game turned out to become one of Insomniac's worst-reviewed games. Since 2014, Insomniac has actively expanded its portfolio of games.
- The company worked with Microsoft Studios on 2014's Sunset Overdrive, partnered with GameTrust to release the underwater Metroidvania game called Song of the Deep, released several mobile games and virtual reality projects, introduced a re-imagining of the first Ratchet & Clank and its first licensed title, Marvel's Spider-Man for PlayStation 4, on September 7, 2018. Prior to 2019, Insomniac remained as a second-party studio working for Sony, sharing the same building as Sony-owned Naughty Dog.
- In August 2019, Sony announced it had agreed to acquire Insomniac as the 14th internal studio within SIE Worldwide Studios.
