see i cant take this list seriously because there is no 2k/rockstar/ take two (i get confused to who is the actual publisher) see when a company release games like red dead, GTA, bully, max payne and bioshock and somehow namco bandi is a better publisher then them makes me to just see the list as flawed

Just major publisher.  They are mid tier publishers.  I tried finding Warner Brothers but i couldnt.  They have so many companies O.o

what defines a major publishers from mid tier publishers? if it comes to quality rockstar wins, if it comes to sales rockstar also wins. when it comes to brand awarness rockstar also wins. i know you didnt put the list yourself so dont think im arguing lol. im just curious as what makes a publisher mid tier or major

I agree that Rockstar is the best publisher.  They are very respected.  Valve and Bethesda also does a good job.  

The main difference is that big publishers publish a lot more games than mid tier.  Rockstar doesnt publish a lot of games but the ones that they do are huge.  Sony publishes a lot more games with a lot of hit and miss titles.  Does that make sense?
