wow companies are always buying companies somehow these days

i had a friend tell me about this last nite i think, don't remember who but i remember hearing about this

They are buying cause if they don't the super rich game corps will buy up everything and leave them in the back ground. Also it's not like Capcom doesn't have it, in 2006 they had a revenue of 751 million.

yeah i know, but at this rate, bigger companies will keep buying smaller ones and later on we'll only have a few huge gaming corps left

Indeed and that'll most likely cause a crash in the industry... again.
