ITT: We post developers that deserved better, I'll start

Pretty much any studio destroyed by an EA takeover
>>344469751
>"takeover"
all those studios who were "taken over" voluntarily sold themselves to EA so no, they do not deserve any better.

Well I was gonna post Westwood, but if you're gonna act like that.
>We only got a taste of what they had in mind
They deserved better than Todd and Pete.
You gotta admit, if their games were made actually well. They would be great and memorable.
Gone but not forgotten.
GSC is still around and making Cossacks 3 right now but I love both Cossacks and Stalker and I would love for them to have more money and manpower to work with.

Definitely these too. The guys that made Call of Cthulhu DCotE too if Bethesda really was the reason they were fucked over.

Does anyone know exactly why LGS went out?Wasn't it a budget issue or something?
>>344470947
Todd has ideas but their poorly implemented because why bother trying when people will listen to your sweet sweet lies. Pete Hines is just a massive fucking douche.

They were going to make a deal with Eidos iirc but the deal fell through and LGS didn't have enough money to keep running after that didn't happen.

What? Todd was there from the start and is a pretty cool guy who has molyneux syndrome.

Battlezone. :(Even worse is when a dev makes the only game in its own genre that doesn't attract the biggest fucking cunts known to man and has a cool art style, then EA gives it the Old Yeller treatment right before a major patch. Pic extremely related.

Oh man don't remind me. I can't think of a pre-Sims Sim game that I didn't like. Maybe SimEarth, although maybe I was just too young to get it.
