All their future games have to go through MS aswell, apparently. Blizzard are damn powerful, probably the most on the list - they do whatever the hell they want and they excel at it, and they have more fans than Jesus.

And yet Bioware, ID, UBisoft, Rare and Square Enix the people who brought you androgynous heroes.

Not sure which one it would knock out from that list, though. Epic would be the obvious one, but Unreal Engine is "healthy," to say the least. Square definitely has the power.

Now you could say that it is merely an umbrella publisher for lots of other game developers, but then, SCE would be as well." Um not really. MGS have half a dozen studios. SCE Europe alone have that number. SCEWWS game development capability dwarfs that of MGS. “Microsoft Game Studios seems to be a massive omission.

If it's as big a graphical leap as they said it was at QuakeCon - and you have to believe them, really - consider me interested. It’s Doom 4 I’m really looking forward to, to be honest.

Now you could say that it is merely an umbrella publisher for lots of other game developers, but then, SCE would be as well. id software is also a hugely notable omission. If we're talking about power and influence, few can match Carmack's credentials. Microsoft Game Studios seems to be a massive omission.
