I think QFT applies to that situation imho. Also, I hate to be a downer OP, but don't we have something similar to this already? Could have sworn there was a thread talking favorite and least favorite gaming companies.

Favorites: Bethesda, Epic Games (, hopefully 343 Industries)

Disliked: Blizzard
I actually like a few games from EA, so I can't say I hate them. I could add Activision to the dislike list, but I always get Turok memories, and cant do it, lol.

Best is easy. Egosoft, Obsidian, CD Projekt and Troika (rip).

There′s a ton of gaming companies I dislike, but I wouldn′t know which I′d call the worst. There′s the usual suspects, and Bethesda and Bioware for bringing ruin to franchises that I once loved and generally employing business tactics that I disapprove off.

Hmm. This would vary a lot on whether I go by the company's overall approach and contribution to gaming, or whether I go simply by whether I like the games they produce.

For instance, if I went simply by the games they produce, i'd rate EA as one of my favourites, and the likes of Valve, Blizzard and Nintendo as three of the worst (I think all three make horribly overrated games). Whereas if I went by their approach and contributions to gaming, i'd list Valve as one of the best, and EA as one of the worst.

I guess if there's one company I generally like the games of AND their development approach, it would be Rockstar. Maybe Bethesda also, in spite of them selling out a bit with Skyrim.

Best: Rockstar and Valve. There are a lot of other companies whose games I like but these two seem to be some of the last studios putting out consistently good games, with lots of time and effort instead of churning reskinned versions out yearly.

Worst: Activision, for doing pretty much the opposite of that.
