And here’s a look at the top 15 mid-sized publishing companies and their Metascore list:
In case you’re wondering whyEAis classed as a mid-sized company, here’s an explanation fromMetacritic:
“EA normally lands in our major publishers list (a year ago, in fact, it ranked #1 on that list), but a decreased release slate in 2017 led to a demotion to our mid-size publishers chart. Speaking of decreases, EA’s Metascore average fell precipitously last year, and the publisher’s rate of critically approved games plunged from 79 percent to just 48 percent. (Metacritic users, meanwhile, trashed almost all of EA’s releases.) The company’s many 2017 disappointments included Need for Speed Payback and Star Wars Battlefront II. EA’s best game last year? FIFA 18."- Metacritic on EA.
