Doesn't stop anyone from at least wowing a big crowd. After all, there are some small game developers that have been making it big for years... id Software's real big now, but when they started out, Carmack knew what he was doing all throughout. Also, 3D Realms is also another small company turned big, with Prey and Duke Nukem Forever on the horizon, they're looking to dominate the gaming market once again, too... However, EA's gonna be tough to dethrone, which is unfortunate... I'm betting on Vivendi Universal throwing in the towel, but not anytime soon...
