No expert but I have run into this google fact a few times.
On average, Google has acquired more than one company every week since 2010.


But those companies are usually small and very specialized.  It isn't like they're acquiring Lockheed, a couple of shipyards, a chip foundry or two, a home goods manufacturer, etc.  Everything that Google procures furthers their aim of making *you* the product rather than making products for you to purchase and use.

I thought this might a list of our mega corps that could be in this war. I found it very interesting that the very top was Walmart selling everyday stuff but then look just how often oil is on the list!!! What would the Traveller equivalent of oil be?
