No because it doesn't have a console presence, it can't be bought out for the PC.

Yeah but who would buy them? It'd have to be MS, Sony or Ninty. They don't really have a console presence so their draw would be lower on consoles.

Blizzard is easily worth the most from a quality standpoint, however since they are primarily PC i guess id go EA. Too much, regardless of business practices.

game, set, match GTA sells very well, u take that game away from either PS3 or 360 and it will hurt that consoles sale and boost the others by a mile. although bungie makes halo microsoft does have the license, so i mean they would still have halo. so i say its close between rockstar and bungie. giving rockstar the nod

EA easily, if just for madden alone, not to mention the other games that sell like crazy. Madden is always a muber one seller, even if it is crap, on all consoles its always at the top of the list.

They wouldn't on consoles though, they can be "bought out" on the PC.

If any third party developer would be bought out which one would go for the most money. Id probably have to say Ubisoft because its riding high on the success of all of its Tom Clancy games which are always critical and commercial successes.mprince131

Talking money alone, defintley Blizzard, they intake more than a billion dollars a year, despite if you say it's "PC so they can't be bought out," because you're wrong, they are a developer, and can be bought out.

Blizzard has already been bought out. Their revenue goes to Vivendi.
