Below are the top 20 video game publishers, ranked by Game Developer in October 2008, in order of overall score in six factors: annual turnover, number of releases, average review score, quality of producers, reliability of milestone payments and the quality of staff pay and perks.[2] Note that this is not a ranking by revenue, but of the quality of experience of working with the publishers according to staff, and some video game development companies. Codemasters is new to the list, bumping Atlus off the list. This is the final year for Activision and Vivendi Games to have separate listings, as the merger happened after the discussed timeframe.
