This video further proves why EA, Activision and Epic are gaming’s overlords, and why they deserve all the hate that they get

We've got major nostalgia for Neversoft and Midway <3

[ARIXANDRE]

Pandemic Studios breaks the heart. The Saboteur, Mercenaries, original Battlefront were all really good games.

Alternate title "EA's murder count"

Let’s not forget the British casualties, which were Psygnosis, Gremlin Interactive, Ocean Software, Bullfrog, Bizarre Creations, Evolution Studios, Argonaut Games, Amstrad, Eidos, Lionhead Studios, Sensible Software, Guerilla Cambridge, US Gold, Blitz Games, Free Radical Design and Hewson.

I got major nostalgia when I saw the Neversoft logo lmao

[TheWyldehart]

Sierra made some amazing games over the years. I still have a few floppies with their logo on them. Black Isle is also amazing.

Westwood forever in my heart. Command & Conquer was my childhood

RIP Lucas Arts, a company that couldn’t make a bad game even if they tried :.(

[fliw]

Definitely need a 2nd video with 10 more. THQ, Eidos, New World Computing, Free Radical, Guerilla, and tons more studios. Loved the nostalgia.

[Nickr]

Acclaim, Hudson, Neversoft and Midway definitely have my appreciation

[Toronel]

To put it bluntly….. It seems that EA is a small studio killer. They buyout these small promising companies working them past their breaking point then discard them without remorse for the employees that are left in limbo wondering what they can do with their livelihoods crumbling around them 😔

Man i miss hudson soft. They knew how to make mario party..

[RespectTheLogos]

Rare is still alive, alongside Team17, Atari, Codemasters, DICE and Insomniac. And THQ found new life as THQ Nordic.

RIP Midway For Giving Us Mortal Kombat NBA Jam NFL Blitz Gauntlet and Psi Ops

[DrFNAFDrones]

R.I.P Black Box Studios. They make one of the best Need For Speed Games.

[indiecinemaster]

Telltale Games deserved more than a mere honorable mention. So many amazing games and yet so much tragedy... Show some damned respect...

[jordanferrazza]

1:30 Blizzard was caught up in its former Franco-American owner Vivendi expanding aggressively after acquiring Universal Studios and then staving off bankruptcy.

Neversoft was awesome, man, I fucking loved the _Guitar Hero_ games since they got me into music when I was younger... So much fun
