[_Angelus_]

Sega.

Fuck yes. I know that I'd be crushed if they folded. No more Outrun,Sonic,Shinobi,Jet set radio,Panzer Dragoons, or Virtua Fighter games,ARGH make it stop,heh.

 

[radrelic]

Nintendo.

 

[op_ivy]

um, pretty much any developer that makes games i enjoy. i dont think you really want me to list that. i dont really want to list all of that

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Well I sure as hell would be unhappy to see the demise of Sega, they pretty much got me into gaming and kept me gaming. Without them, the industry would be a much worse place to play.

 

[nubbe]

Capcom, Nintendo... and maybe Konami.
Black Isle :´(

 

[jcjimher]

Sega, of course. The sad thing is, although it would be very bad for them to disappear, their current state (which I hope is a result of them gearing up for next-gen) makes it too easy to imagen how the gaming worls would be without them...

 

[Borys]

Troika...
...Oh wait.

New Word Computing...
...damn.

Origin!...
...shit.

Black Isle...
...see above.

Sane Squaresoft...
...too late!

...

VALVe.

 

[FoneBone]

I'll be pretty upset when Double Fine goes under. Yeah, I'm optimistic.

 

[Che]

Nintendo, Squeenix, Konami, Namco and Capcom.

IAWTP.

 

[McPhineas]

Harmonix.

It's never any fun when an established game company closes down or gets bought and marginalized. The Oddworld Inhabitants news was definitely a downer, and I never even really got into the series.

 

[C- Warrior]

Capcom, Konami, Namco, and Square.

Most my games are Japanese developed.

Capcom mostly for their franchises, and at the same time when they create something new and big, it is really new and big. Case n' point, Onimusha 1. DMC, RE4 (which is practically a new damn series since it's so different).

 

[Flakster99]

Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, Sega.

A part of me died the day Black Isle went tits up. /salute

I know Square-Enix won't ever disappear, but Square itself have been practically invisible to me, so little quality in recent years. For me, they've become un-important and to think that just 5 years ago, it was unthinkable.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

A few years ago I would have said Square and Sega. But now I could live without Square and Sega the way they've been lately. The last Square game I purchased was Final Fantasy X and from Sega, Panzer Dragoon Orta.

As of now, I say Nintendo, Capcom, and Konami.

Edit: I didn't even read the post above me. We both said Square isn't important anymore. At least I know i'm not alone.

 

[Jared Goodwin]

Nintendo

I'd miss not having a new Mario Party game ever year.

Then worry about Hudson Soft, not Nintendo.

 

[Amir0x]

Atlus.

 

[lordmrw]

Not that i'm a nintendo fanboy, but the day they die or leave the game business is the day I stop playing games.

 

[Andrew2]

Snowblind Studios? The guys behind Dark Alliance? :lol

And Champions. The fact they was able to wow me with both of those series, makes me like them much. What interesting, both series are the type of games I've been itching to play for years.

 

[Jared Goodwin]

Atlus.

Seconded. I'd miss both their publishing and developing arms.

 

[Date of Lies]

And Champions. The fact they was able to wow me with both of those series, makes me like them much. What interesting, both series are the type of games I've been itching to play for years.

alright I just wanted to make sure since I found the gameplay in DA to be very shallow.

 

[drohne]

there are a lot of developers i would miss badly if they folded. but if cave or treasure went under, i'd feel like an entire tradition of gaming was ending, and i'd feel like independent development was ending. neither of those feelings would be entirely accurate, of course, but it would still be depressing. and given the attrition rate among shooter developers, it's a real prospect. :/ well, cave's arcade games do extremely well, and treasure apparently have a sound business model. here's to their continued health.

 

[Gazunta]

Krome Studios.

'Coz then I'd have to go and get a real job...

 

[evilromero]

If Nintendo folded I'd fuck the video game world and say goodbye. I would look to my backlog of awesome games for the remainder of my life.

 

[Cold-Steel]

Blizzard, Nintendo, Valve, Konami, Namco and Capcom.

I used to care about SEGA...but it's not the same anymore...

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Nintendo. But it wouldn't be enough to make stop gaming. Now if all the top JP dev houses folded, I would give up gaming for good.

 

[Koshiro]

Nintendo and Sega.

 

[ElyrionX]

Bioware
Blizzard
Konami

 

[kevm3]

Bioware and maybe Square.

I could see myself not giving a damn about those two companies eventually though. I hope Bioware goes back to making more pure PC gaming goodness instead of console/pc hybrids. The Squaresoft of old, especially in the SNES days had me entranced. Final Fantasy 6 is my favorite game to this day. I don't know what the hell happened to them this generation though.

 

[jiggle]

Squarenix
Level-5
Nautilus
Monolith

 

[Coen]

I would miss all developers willing to take a chance with a new, fresh idea.

 

[Ryudo]

Tecmo, Bungie or DICE.

 

[SpokkX]

Nintendo (Retro, EAD)

Bioware

Bungie

oh, and

Team Ninja

 

[EAJAPAN]

SNKP

[Truelize]

I miss the old Sega,

And I already miss Oddworld Inhabitants.

 

[Screenboy]

'Tendo + Capcom + AV.

 

[Do The Mario]

[Ash Housewares]

capcom it is then

 

[SHOCKIE]

Bungie
Konami

 

[budala1]

Capcom and Konami

 

[Prine]

Bungie, BioWare, Team Ninja, Rare, Capcom, Nintendo, Sega, Konami, Ubi Soft and loads more

[Shiggy]

Intelligent Systems

[johnjohnson]

I'm always sad when a developer closes its doors. No matter if I played any of their games or not or if they were crap or not.
