I'd include Valve, but they just don't make games anymore

- Trasmatta 5y agoInterestingly, they're owned by Kadokawa Corporation, a large Japanese media conglomerate. Sony has a close relationship with From, so I could see them trying to buy the company, if Kadokawa was interested in selling. Souls games sell really well, although not close to CoD or Destiny numbers. I feel like Elden Ring will be huge, though.
- jackling 5y agoHalf-Life: Alyx was made recently no?
- pphysch 5y agoI think Valve/Steam will get M&A'd when the current leadership retires
- 0xcde4c3db 5y agoI'm not sure I'd classify Konami as "large distinct publishers/studios" anymore. Apart from the obligatory yearly installments of PES and BeatMania, they seem to mostly make gambling machines these days.
