Kane99 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 With all the talk about how certain companies are awful *cough* EA *cough* Ubisoft *cough* It got me thinking. Why not talk about the developers and publishers you actually respect. What studios do you trust? I'd add Nintendo, but sometimes I'm unsure about them. They have made poor decisions in the past. I think SEGA for the most part is a good studio/publisher. They don't seem to get on peoples nerves so much. Yeah they may make a few bad games, but they aren't on the levels of EA or Ubisoft, or 2K etc. Kojima is someone I'd add as developer I respect, same with Miyamoto at Nintendo. I have respect for a lot of indie studios as well, as they tend to do most of their work and production/marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 None of them. My respect for a developer and/or publisher beings and ends with the money I spend on thier game. They can take it or leave it. Appreciation is another matter. A terrible publisher/developer can be responsible for a great game, likewise a revered company is also quite capable of doing wrong, take CDPR for example. In the end, the customer's respect for the company is wholly insignificant when compared to the company's respect for the customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must always be remembered, that respect is only to be EARNED and never to be granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Kojima is the goat and the creator of my beloved Metal Gear Series (I could go on for hours about this). CDPR and Capcom are developers that I also admire in terms of the quality they have given us over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 For me I have respect for a lot of indie game developers on itch and few other game marketplaces. they are not rich guys but they work really hard for stuff. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) I have to give nakano.io a shout out. They're a small indie developer, but they have put out some really great games. I have several on my Switch, and no complaints whatsoever. Edited November 6, 2020 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I was actually looking to see if anyone would stand in for EA or Ubisoft, then I'd off with my clothes and start fighting immediately 😂. Indie game developers are quite remarkable with what they have been doing in the industry. Also, I'd pick Hideo Kojima as well as Naughty Dog.

Nope - we all share the same hatred for EA and Ubisoft's practices. I doubt you'll find a single person who will unconditionally defend EA or Ubisoft on this site.

Seriously - don't be surprised if one shoots up in support of EA and Ubisoft because we really have some people who are really twisted by the way they think.

There's the possibility of a new member doing that but no current members hold EA or Ubisoft in such high esteem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with you on this. A newbie most likely to playing EA games wouldn't really know much about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Sega would grow that much like EA or ubisoft, they will need for money to run their R&D. Obviously, they will charge higher from the gamers. That's what EA and Ubisoft is doing now. No matter how many times we deny, the fact remains the same. All these gaming studios are in the market to maximize their profit. They will do anything to achieve their goals. It's just a matter of time, from when they will start doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously - It's really a pattern for all of them but the most important thing is that when you are trying to maximize profits, you should also offer something that's worth the gamers money.

Family sedan Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I feel like some gaming studios care more than others, but profit is always the end objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 There is actually nothing wrong with looking at maximizing their profits but when doing that, they should endeavor to offer up something that's worth it for the gamers in the end.
