Consolidation in the games industry is at an all-time high with deals like Microsoft trying to acquire Activision Blizzard, Sony getting Bungie, Take-Two grabbing Zynga, and most recently, Embracer Group acquiring Square Enix's internal Western studios (Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montréal, Square Enix Montréal).

The wave of consolidation is also far from over, according to those same corporations. In early April, following the announcement of the PlayStation Plus revamp, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan confirmed the Japanese company has plans to acquire more game development studios.
