EA Lands On The Fortune 500 List
Electronic Arts is the only dedicated video game publisher on Fortune Magazine's landmark Fortune 500 list based on public companies' gross revenue. You won't see Nintendo or Activision-Blizzard on this list, but the House of Madden is running with the big boys. Where did the company place?
Electronic Arts may have only come in at 494 (one below H&R Block and one above those stiffs at Franklin Resources), but unlike me, they're at least on the list. Fortune 500 categorizes EA in the "computer software" category, along with the likes of heavy hitters Microsoft (#36) and Oracle (#105). EA is listed as having over $4 billion in revenue in 2009, and it's their first year on the list.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
