    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?

    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.

    Edit: ~4B$ seems way low for Microsoft… I dunno what I was thinking. Leaving the mistake for context. Maybe I meant $3.9T? But again that’s not just gaming. Gaming is a drop in the bucket for them and Xbox is failing and Bethesda has sucked for like 10 years or more now, closer to 15 if we’re honest. Mojang (Minecraft) is successful and Obsidian is killin’ it, but in the grand scheme of things? Microsoft doesn’t matter here.
