What defunct development studio do you miss the most, /vr/?

>> No.3600673

Probably LucasArts, though they didn't put out much I really loved after, say, Jedi Academy. I always thought the Battlefront games were overrated and boring, for example.

Raven Software made Jedi Academy/Outcast, not LucasArts.

Will Wright did himself in. Shame he never recovered from one mistake while Peter Molyneux went on to make the same promises over and over again.

Does Blizzard North count?

People blame EA for things EA has no control over. We have reached a point where these people think publishers do far more than they actually do.

Why aren't they porting the rest of their XBLA games to PC? Why aren't they announcing new games? Why have most of their staff left them?

I heard they only exist as a PO box and phone number now...

>having the realistic viewpoint that making a game where you can literally do anything is impossible makes you a shill

No it just makes you not fucking retarded you blind consumerist sheep who spouts GET HYPE XXXDD whenever something appears on e3 underaged hipster faggot newfag straight outta /v/ redditor BITCH!

The Origin logo reminds me of the time I bought Bad Blood for my Amstrad PC1512, watched the opening cut scene in monochrome CGA, getting super excited about it, only for it to dump me back to the DOS prompt as soon as it was time to play.

I think I ended up exchanging it for Harley Davidson: The Road To Sturgis.

Hey, at least it worked...

Lord britannia mustard rice hopped on the MMO bandwagon too much though. So it's not completely EA's fault
