We all have our favourite devs and publishers now, but we're not here to talk about that!
We're here to talk about our favourite developers that have either closed down, been eaten up by a publisher or just lost their heart somewhere along the way.
To kick it off, my favourite developer of yesteryear is 'Bullfrog'. Quality titles such as 'Populous', 'Theme Hospital', 'Theme Park', 'Syndicate' and so on. Unfortunately it was acquired by EA in 1995 and has since been completely adsorbed into another dev.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
You mention Bullfrog, yet you don't mention its greatest game series ever: Dungeon Keeper?!
You are bannished from the interwebs!
OT: Bullfrog, more importantly: Dungeon Keeper. Too bad it turned into the worst game evar with its new MMO

It is basically World of Warcraft: Demon Edition.
