Roblox fascinates me as someone who casually knows it. There’s a huge ecosystem there just sitting inside a bigger gross child exploitation ring.
Billions of money sifting through kids hands while adults play simulation games with hardcore rules
Or so I’m led to believe.
Why aren’t the “game focused” companies within Sony, Microsoft, etc. listed on here?
Because Sony and Microsoft make most of their money from other sources. That isn't to says their game studios aren't big, just that they don't make 90% of revenue.
But they have gaming divisions which are technically their own companies. This chart js definitely cherry-picking. I didn’t even mention that “gaming” is highly subjective already. There’s more than just MS & Sony missing from this chart.
Would like to see Minecraft itself though
Because they would make Nintendo look tiny by comparison.
Sony would fall between EA and Nexon here. With a gaming division revenue of $31.5bn according to this: gamesindustry.biz/playstation-full-year-operating…
Honestly thought Ubisoft was the biggest European games company, but it ain’t even close.
EA should have e a Saudi flag not usa
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.
According to this source Microsoft has $23B revenue for gaming only.
I am surpised that mojang isn’t here
They’re owned by Microsoft? Would you expect BioWare to have it’s own entry outside of EA, too?
Where’s Microsoft on the list?
Where’s Valve?
On a list of non publicly listed companies I would imagine
Also, I’m not sure if they really fit the bill, since probably most of their revenue comes from providing infrastructure, not games.
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.
These are all public companies. Roblox is RBLX on the NYSE. It hit an all-time high of $141/share in September, and this infographic was probably produced then.
It’s now back down to $80/share, which is $56.8 billion in market cap.
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.
