At present, many large publishers still operate there, such as: [[Activision Blizzard]], [[Capcom|Capcom Entertainment]], [[Crystal Dynamics]], [[Electronic Arts]], [[Namco Bandai Games]], [[Sega of America]], and [[Sony Computer Entertainment America]]. However, due to the nature of game development, many publishers are present in other regions, such as [[Big Fish Games]] (Washington), [[Majesco Entertainment]] (New Jersey), [[Microsoft Corporation]] (Washington), [[Nintendo of America]] (Washington), and [[Take-Two Interactive]] (New York),{{sfn|Moore|Novak|2010|p=51}}
