Wow, this chart is genuinely great. You must be so mad about today's news.

    Eh, to be honest the rumours of studio closures where what made me want to get a sense of how big Xbox was and how it got there.

    When you look at it like this, you kinda see how things got so bloated. It's hard to imagine MS actually imagining they could keep all those plates spinning at once.

    I'm just glad studios are going independent or being sold, rather than shut down outright.

    Really interesting chart.

    Would probably take a lot of effort, but it'd be neat to illustrate which IP also came in with the various studios that were acquired as well. Or show homegrown IP in addition to homegrown studios.

    I considered it. I wish I knew how to program so I could make something interactive, so you could switch between layers to fit in more info without making it bloated and confusing.

    I do plan on expanding it to show all the other major publishers as well, working on Sony right now.

    Activision Blizzard was 2008? Fuuuck
    For those who don't know, Activision and Blizzard games were subject to several ethical issues in the workplace, being soulsucking giant publishers, but the merger only compounded the problems and everyone below executive and white status gets royally fucked over.

    It's missing Digital Anvil, the developer of the space trading game Freelancer.
