If you could, well, receive all the profits of a gaming comany (you know, like Volition, Interplay, Cryo, Team17, etc.) which one would you choose... or, which one do you think makes the most money!?

I'd go with Blizzard, cause they've released in the last year two games that have hit record highs: Diablo 2, and Warcraft 3.

In addition, they have Starcraft/Broodwar, which millions and millions of people are still playing/buying.

so yeah, i'll go with Blizzard.  anyone want to challenge that?


i dunno why i thought of this, just was curious what you think :D

Hmm, as above, If I was a commercialist I'd go for EA, nearly every game you come across is published by EA, bastards!

Anyway, if I were to get a developer's profits, I'd say Introversion.

Bleah. I was talking about the money. MS makes crap games, with few exceptions (HALO looks kinda cool, I guess).

For the games, I'd say a reconstituted Bullfrog, with Molyneux back in it. Him and the old Bullfrog team, with modern graphics? Oh baby...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
