| ListerOfSmeg said: Valve is a publisher too though right? They publish games on steam. Allow 3rd parties to publish games on steam as well. |
Obviously, they're far bigger than your average run-of-the-mill development studio like say, Media Molecule or Sucker Punch (maybe they're not the best examples, but I'm talking bigger-than-indie but smaller-than-multiple-studios teams).
And they do publish games, but as far as I'm aware, they still just run 1-2 development teams. And since they only release - on average - one game a year, it still seems like they're smaller than the two mentioned.
Nintendo & Sony push out what, like 10-12 games per year? Probably more than that, and at least 4-5 internally developed. If you compare that to Valve's 1 game per year, you can see why I'm drawing a difference between the two.
