This is a rollercoaster of a list. Valve's $7.7bil versus a company who's only product is Path of Exile?
- klausa 3y agoThere's no way Valve's valuation is anywhere close to $8b in 2023, right? They probably make that much in revenue yearly, the number from 2019 has to be way out of date.
- ribosometronome 3y agoAren't GGG owned by Tencent? I believe op's point is that they're 1) not independent and 2) not making exploitive games. Exploitive monetization is a fairly subjective call but it seems pretty agreeable that being owned by Tencent certainly makes a studio not "indie".
- azalemeth 3y agoGog is owned by CD Projekt, a Warsaw listed company whose major shareholders are still the three founders of the company (https://www.gpw.pl/company-factsheet?isin=PLOPTTC00011#shareholdersTab https://www.gpw.pl/company-factsheet?isin=PLOPTTC00011#share...). It's not owned by TenCent.
- tracerbulletx 3y agoMy only real criteria was studios I could think of that seem to still make games like they (and the leadership) are passionate about it and are making S tier games still. I put GGG on it because Path of Exile 2 looks like what a company with the vision of Blizzard in its hayday would be making today.
