I hope the industry learns that small development shops are better then these mega publishers...
Activision-Blizzard has been a failure as far as I'm concerned. EA bought more studios and it isn't looking good.
ID Software has a lot to do to get back in the game... Rage looks great, but let's face it, its been vaporware for several years now.
Betheseda is the bright spot but publishing Wet lowered their quality standards.
If they do buy Valve I hope there is no change to them. They are one of the few great development shops left.
