What developers can't you live without?

- EA BIG (love the SSX and NBA Streets series)
- Rockstar North
- Capcom


And I've already survived the demise of one of the best studios ever - Looking Glass. I'll miss them forever.
 
Live without, I dont know but I certainly would miss these guys.

Naughty Dog
Polyphony (and the other Sony developers, Incognito, Insomniac etc)
Valve
Namco

Do any of you say this literally?

I could live without them, sure. But would I still play new video games? Probably not. I have over 1000 games in my library, and I'd say over 90% of them are Konami, Capcom, Sega, Namco, and Nintendo titles.
 
As a gamer yes.. If those would stop to exicst i would quit gaming all together because they, and mainly Nintendo, are the reason i still play games.

As for me as a living breathing person.. hell no.. I have a life that goes far beyond gaming ;)
 
Now...

-Capcom Production Studio 2
-Intelligent Systems
-Matrix Software
-Amusement Vision
-Treasure Video Games
-Namco CT Company
-Eighting
-Clover Studio
-Chun Soft~ though I rarely get to play their stuff :(

....last gen it would've included...

-Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development
-Sega-AM2
-Sonic Team
-Konami Computer Entertianment Osaka
-Quest
-GameArts Entertainment
 
Bio Ware

Bethasoft (I know it shocked me too)

And R* or Square-Enix
 
Nintendo
Capcom
Bioware
Id software (only for their graphics engines though)
Bungie
Konami
Namco
Ubisoft Montreal
Retro Studios

dunno, I might be missing some but thats all I can think of right now.
 
None.

Developers come and go, and one thing that's always true is that there will always be really talented dev teams out there. Right now, Koei's Omega Force team is the wind beneath my wings, but I survived the self-destruction of Dream Factory. There's no reason to think gaming will suddenly become stale if any particular developer disappears.
