Which company do you feel cares the most about their fans?
- Thread starter Arsen
- Start date
Pandemic Studios, Relic Entertainment and Valve
Don't even mention EA or Activision, they're purely in it for profit.

I feel Bungie cares most. They do an awesome job of running their website and the community is great. Love the games as well. I would say valve if you own a PC and use their services but they are really lacking with their console support.
InfinityWard, they opened up a Twitter account to listen to peoples' requests for the new game.
Or Steam. Whichever.

I love steam, I spend way too much money on it. Valve is definitely pretty sweet, although I'm still a tad bitter on how they didn't deliver on what they said they had planned for L4D... and I'm sure Half-life Episode 3 will be epic as hell but I wish it was here already 
I still loves you though Valve, I know you'll make it up to me someday
PS. If I actually liked TF2 I bet I would be more excited about them. I bet its pretty sweet to be a fan of that game considering how much time and effort they actually put into it

If I hear right, Vale keeps giving updates, expansions, etc. for free all the time (for PC users anyway, us console users can apparently go fuck ourselves) and they have the whole Steam network. (and they keep giving us great games, can't forget about that.)
Stardock's in the same neighborhood, but nobody (and I mean NOBODY) does customer relations like Paradox.Mullahgrrl said:
Have you read the thread on the Paradox Victoria 2 forum [http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?p=10032636#post10032636] that Frederik Wester (the company's CEO) started? The head honcho of the entire company engaged actively with the fans, and Paradox's internal arguments about whether to make Vicky 2 in the first place (apparently Johan had to really stick his neck out to convince the boss that the game could make money) were laid completely public. Show me another developer that would do that.
Well I saw Gabe Newell have a 20 minute discussion with a whole bunch of deaf gamers about what Valve could do for them in their game design. I haven't seen any other developers do that.
Left 4 Dead 2 was another example. Whether I disagree with whiny boycotters aside, Valve has announced a new mini campaign for L4D and is promising continued work.
TF2 is another example of constant DLC.
They're trying to make money, but they still maintain a healthy connection with their market.

No offense, but screw Valve.
Capcom is where it's at. They make games on EVERY SINGLE CONSOLE and don't constantly whine about one being difficult. They make a myriad of games to make their fanbase happy, not to mention appeasing to their old school.
Name the next gen console, their game is on it. Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4, Okami, Phoenix Wright, and the best of them all, MEGA MAN!!! Megaman 9 on all console stores, Megaman Starforce on the DS, Megaman Powered Up and Maverick Hunter X on the PSP. And new titles just waiting to come out. When they port, they just shut up and do it. There's no whining about how they want a company to cater to them. They just do it like any company would. And they do it right. They put arrogant companies like Sega to shame with the quality of work they put out.
So screw you Half Life and you PC elitism. Take a hike Sega with your spiny cash cow hedgehog. Make way for the blue bomber!

Valve and Bethesda. Valve has free updates for it's games, (mostly TF2) and Bethesda for all of their DLC's for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3.
As far as Atlus' USA division is concerned, I do agree that the company's fun extras and preorder bonuses are a nice perk. Aside form that, a good majority of the games they choose to localize are typically pretty niche and something you wouldn't see others bringing over. Sure NIS does the same thing, but I find that Atlus' choices in localization projects tend to be better than NIS'. Oh Cross Edge, how you disappoint me.Vargas19 said:
