Or maybe it's holding Half-life 3... People tend to go apeshit for every "supposed Half-life 3 news". Valve never delivers.disgruntledgamer said:

Yeah I sort of meant it as a joke answer, I'm just glad that they are bringing them (along with Nights Into Dreams, which I keep forgetting) to XBLA as unfortunately my Dreamcast died a while backSkarKrow said:
And I do love the Sonic resurrection as well. And they do publish Football Manager as well, which can take up lots of my time as well.I also love that EA have stormed into a huge "lead" in this poll.
Hard to pick just one.
Many of them have done things that really piss me off.
EA. Nuff said.
Actually, no. Fuck them. I too am very bitter about them ruining Bullfrog, Westwood, and Maxis. Yeah, Maxis is still around but I firmly blame EA for ruining the amazing game Spore COULD have been. My number 1 top gaming disappointment. Some of the early wireframe with no texture prototype/proof of concept mockups were conceptually more complex and interesting than the actual completed product. I'd also venture a guess they're why Star Wars: The Old Republic copy pasted World of WarCraft so damn much.
Also, Origin. It will never be like Steam. You fail EA. You're like Google Plus trying to compete with Facebook. You're too late out of the gate. How good or crappy your service is doesn't mean much when people are already overwhelmingly invested in something else.
Activision
Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines for example. Idiots mismanaged that. Despite their colossal ineptitude the game was great, but sadly, the last of it's kind for the most part. They also are probably responsible for stopping patching/support on Redemption before they should have.
THQ
It's probably their fault Company of Heroes stopped getting patches before the job was done, despite the game's success.
Kalypso Media
They outright lied and cheated their customers by letting Legends of Pegasus get released while it was still clearly in an alpha state.

My Dreamcast is a bit iffy and I havent had it too long, it dislikes Code Veronica and Power Stone sadly but everything else is fine, it's easily one of my favourite machines.Andy Shandy said:Yeah I sort of meant it as a joke answer, I'm just glad that they are bringing them (along with Nights Into Dreams, which I keep forgetting) to XBLA as unfortunately my Dreamcast died a while backSkarKrow said:

I hope Sonic continues to be good, I think they're gonna take a new direction though and leave the Unleashed style for a bit, which could be nice I think maybe a bit less boost to win, and I'd like something a bit longer and more varied than Generations :\
At any rate I do look forward to whatever is next for the blue blur. I even have my sonic plushy on my desk... > >
That sounds like something Emperor Palpatine would say if he ran a game publishing company.Noswad said:

Well they've published some good games like the Transformers Cybertron games, and Spider-Man 2...Bat Vader said:
I am temted to say EA (i voted for it) but really it's valve. They keep saying "Oo, Half Life 3, it could be round the very next corner" *wink wink, nod nod* but it never is!
Well, nice to see that 2K games didnt get any votes. From what I remeber they have never actively exploited costumers and while they dont play the "Valve super nice guys" card they play the rolemodel publisher right. They usually publish good games that usually try to do something interesting and they took a huge chance with Spec Ops The Line
This thread is made up by people who are blinded by valve. A monoply in any form is always bad, no matter the creater or owner, monoplies are bad. Also doesn't help that eveen if you buy a game from a store you still need bloodly steam to play. (mad about Dawn of War 2)
EA, I have really have no quarrels with them, either I don't play games they make, or enjoy them immesely, which is more than I can say for valve games. Valve enjoying for shorts bursts, EA, I tend to enjoy longer, but than again it could be because I'am a gamer who enjoy playing games for a good while.
Also I think valve is trolling their fans for half-life 3 just because they can, after all, most valvies are blinded.

Dont care, i play the games i want. Dont care who makes them. Mostly i rent through Lovefilm unless the game is a "must have".
