Today, the gaming industry has never been better or as lucrative. Financially, developers are reaping the benefits of the explosion of gaming interest among the masses. The proliferation of companies producing their own original games only builds a broader base of fans that will follow the brand to whichever console they serve. As a result, the developers, as well as the big-time consoles, are raking in the cash.
Odds are if you are a gamer, you have played a product of one of these ten wealthy game developers. In what is a multi-billion dollar industry, the gamers fuel the creative machines that advance the overall gaming experience. The future is bright for all involved with the video game industry.
10. Square Enix – Value: $1.26 billion
The Japanese company is most famous for creating the Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts series of games. The Final Fantasy series has sold over 110 million copies as of June 2014, making it by far their best-selling franchise to date. Building on their status as role playing game masters, Kingdom Hearts, in conjunction with Disney, is a rising star in the RPG genre, selling over 20 million copies as of March 2014.
In 2009, Square Enix bought Eidos Interactive and thus claimed the rights to the wildly popular Tomb Raider series. This only adds more in the way of expansive RPG play to Square Enix’s robust stable of franchises. This keeps true to the company’s goal of making games where the story and aesthetics of the game itself come first and foremost in the creative process.
