Epic Games and Scopely have made it into Time's list of the top 100 most influential companies of 2024
Last week, Time magazine published its annual list of the top 100 most influential companies. There were two strictly gaming companies in the ranking — Epic Games and Scopely.
MONOPOLY GO!
The ranking is divided into several categories. Epic Games was placed in the "pioneers" category, where it is listed alongside companies like OpenAI, Intuitive Machines, and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. In the accompanying text explaining Fortnite developers' inclusion in the top 100, Epic Games’ efforts to combat the monopoly in the mobile app store market are highlighted.
Scopely was placed in the "innovators" list. Among its peers in the category are Google, AMD, and Huawei. Time recognized the success of the game MONOPOLY GO!, which has generated over $2 billion.
It is worth noting that Microsoft, Amazon, and the previously mentioned Google also made it into the top 100. They are also involved in gaming, though it is only a part of their business.
