If i were work for a developer and wanted the money, I'd have to say Rare, look at the cash they raked in for their N64 successes.

But now they've been bought my MS.:(

EA Games is the most successfull publisher, though i think it's borken into various development houses.

I think Rockstar must make a few bob from the GTA games in particular, and they're from Scotland, too :)! (Dundee - hence the word 'Quine' in Vice City).   Codemasters, Eidos and DMA are Scottish too IIRC.  So are Mucky Foot, though they're not so famous (Startopia, Blade II).  And a guy who graduated from my uni started up a development company - they made an early PS2 title called 'Airblade' or something, I think - although they may be 'rupt now.

NB:  Rare posted record losses fairly recently.

"...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
