The only good news about that is that a lot of their publishing focus seems to be western so it should remain fairly powerful in the UK. Oh yeah, and Eidos were bought out by Square Enix.

Not a developer list. Oh, and Atari recently published Ghostbusters, Riddick and been working pretty close with Namco as they take over their European distribution. Codemasters could be on there but could you honestly say that they are bigger or better than most of the others on that list? What other British publishers are there? Mastertronic (chortle)? 505 games has a strong base in the UK but I think they are actually Italian. @Steven L : because it’s a publisher list. Not a developer list.

Yet Atari gets on the list? Can someone name the last good game Atari made? No Rockstar, Codemasters or Lionhead Studios?
