Ok, so the RL corporations that have the best bids on being actual megas are terrifyingly far from the public eye. Myriad holdin companies separate the highest level companies from brands people know. Sure Disney, Microsoft, Google, etc are huge and have brand recognition, but they have all gotten about as large as there current model allows, and it's no where near mega status.
My question is: do IC customers associate Ford with Ares, and SoyCaf with Aztechnology? We know that a lot of the car and electronic manufacturers are still around at least in name. Does Sony still get press around the PlayStation e^PI*i, while MCT gets press like Viacom ... which is to say it doesn't. |
