    Why aren’t the “game focused” companies within Sony, Microsoft, etc. listed on here?

    Microsoft is about $3.9B BTW… Per another chart.

    You can make the argument that they do not belong because their primary businesses are Windows, Office, and AI. But if you’re looking for them because of Xbox, Bethesda, Mojang, or their other brands, that is where they would rank. Between NCSoft and NetMarble, with a USA flag.

    Edit: ~4B$ seems way low for Microsoft… I dunno what I was thinking. Leaving the mistake for context. Maybe I meant $3.9T? But again that’s not just gaming. Gaming is a drop in the bucket for them and Xbox is failing and Bethesda has sucked for like 10 years or more now, closer to 15 if we’re honest. Mojang (Minecraft) is successful and Obsidian is killin’ it, but in the grand scheme of things? Microsoft doesn’t matter here.

    Is Groombox actually that big or is it based on what the CEO says it is worth? I remember reading some ridiculous statements about their net worth.

        Also, I’m not sure if they really fit the bill, since probably most of their revenue comes from providing infrastructure, not games.

    lol Ubi. Why are they still treated as one of the big ones? Like Mojang alone is probably way more valuable than Ubi in total. They basically double A now and they should probably focus on double A productions. Also their market cap is even lower today they are a sub billion euro company now.
