Sony Aquires Media Molecule

Sony Entertainment has just aquired Media Molecule, the developers of the multi-million selling and multi-award winning game Little Big Planet for the PlayStation 3 and PSP.  Now my first thoughts here are, Sony is upset Media Molecule has stated they don't plan to ever release a sequel to Little Big Planet (which is one of the PS3 top selling games), how do they get them to do it?  Buy them.  So Sony can now force MediaMolecule into creating a sequel so they can make more money.  My second thought, they are going to force their motion control software down our throats (which MM has been kind enough not to do as of yet).

It sounds to me like it could turn out to be a bad repeat of what Bungie Studios went through when Microsoft aquired them... Stiffling their creativity and forcing unwanted elements into their loved games. Bummer.
