Pretty soon every single corporation will merge into one and then we'll have what the old folks called a "monopoly" (so successful, it inspired a game!). At that point, we'll be reminded why we decided these monopolies weren't such a good thing in the first place.
Sometimes corporations need to be allowed to fail (what the hell's Atari still doing sticking around?). Midway the last few years was dictionary definition of "Epic Fail."
@Wolf_Dog: The pendulum swings both ways. Eventually there will be a multitude of game companies starting up when credit starts flowing and the economy turns around. This is just part of the business cycle at this point.
@demistate: Exactly, and more to the point... if there ever is only one game company, someone else will come along with a good idea and make better games. Competition is inevitable.
@LTTelamon: And then the monopoly will lower all the prices of their products to "Cheap as Free" so as to starve the up-and-comer into submission, buy the up-and-comer, and the distopia returns.

It was either this, or Midway goes bye-bye. Not really a GOTTA BUY 'EM ALL corpokemon sale.
