Link (it forces you to navigate. click the top 100 link, then click where it says "here" to read the list)

http://www.develop100.com/

So guys, EA made #1 because they made 118million in 2006, but why then did Blizzard Enterainment make #66? :roll:

Is World of Warcraft not making enough money? Is Starcraft (an 8 year old game) still not on store shelves and selling? I find this list to be pretty crappy. Anyone?

I think their going by purely who makes the most money fastest, which obviously means EA wins. Blizzard, on the other hand is smaller, and produces fewer games, though individually each of those games are record high sellers.

they are going only by who makes the most profit in General, not who makes the most profit per game, which would most likely be Blizzard.

It's just the 100 most succesful in the UK "Develop 100 ranks the world's games development studios based on the revenues their products made at UK retail in 2006."

Wow, they did an amazing job with Blizzard. I highly doubt they counted any monthly revenues at all. For example, look at #63, Ensemble studios, they make Age of Empires. Anyone who knows even a decent about PC gaming knows that WoW makes millions more then Age of Empires has this year (Um...Warchiefs and #3? compared to Millions a month by Wow).

I put EA, Konami, Capcom, and Blizzard in top 5. People say I'm delusion to put EA up there. Well, This just backs up my arguement. Bioware is not even mention in the top 100. Sales matter wither you like it or not.

Blizzard should have been in ATLEAST the top 5.  Epic should have been in the top 10.

Agreed. No id == total failure. And they've got Treyarch, but not Crytek? Valve scraping the bottom?

Yeah if some of you actually read the page you'd see its the top 100 in the UK by revenue, which is why EA Canada (who makes most of the EA sports games) is number 1.

So this is the ranking based on United Kingdoms sales?

Well that is pretty much the least useful ranking I could ever think of.

Hehe... you should see the pile of developer magazines on my desk. And I don't even write games. Unless "Implementing Search in Generic Collections" excites you, you're not missing much.

If WoW has over 5.5 million accounts (they say 8 million users now but I don't know if that's current) then Blizzard is taking in over 1 Billion dollars a year in WoW monthly payments alone.
