    No I mean Blizzard owns Activision.

    And is in turn owned by Vivendi, the French company which began its life as a sewer contractor.

    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    Depends on what you mean by "gaming company". Do you mean who's the better publisher? In which case, half the companies on your list don't belong there because they don't publish. Do you mean who's better at making games? In which case, several of the companies on your list don't belong there because they don't actually make games.

    Edit- And Sierra and Activision are the same company, and have been for some time.

    *cough* Activision and Blizzard *cough*





    Sierra owns Valve, Relic and Eidos.

    And EA owns 25% of Ubisoft. Tis true :P

    Sierra does not own Valve and Square Enix owns Eidos. I just made a little research.

    Should have mentioned Square Enix instead of Eidos.

    Life is best for those who enjoy it, difficult for those who analyze it and worst for those who criticize it.

    Valve is one of the only major independent companies left.

    Edit- They just used Sierra as a publisher until they began to self-publish.

    Its a debacle.

    Square a developer, Eidos published for them on the PC market, Enix merged with Square, bought Eidos. But Sierra has a bigger stake in shares in Eidos than Square Enix.

    But for some silly legal agreement, Sierra allowed Square Enix full control. Madness I tell you. Sierra continues to get profit of course.

    Then Sierra bought Relic and killed off Homeworld all together. Will never forgive Sierra for that blunder.

    But as said they are part of Activision Blizzard, so now Blizz gets the cash.

    Game Publishers so much fun :P

    There's a better Homeworld. It's called "Sins of a Solar Empire". Stardock FTW.

    Ewww Sins of a Solar Empire sucks.. IMHO.

    Homeworld had a great story, that ended because of Sierra.

    Many people were not happy to find out that they will never know how Karen Sajet fared in the possible future games.
