For me it's Kojima Productions. They haven't made anything good yet, but I have faith, and I am keeping a close eye on them.

Most people here are Valve cultists to the point they'll defend abominations such as the Steam Frame or the gabe box.As someone with healthy criticism for Valve, I do still "like" them, which fits your criteria apparently."Liking" something is not a high bar. I also like From, CAPCOM and Konami.
>>750176737Uhh, Grinding Gear Games? Everyone else is dead
>>750176737I hate all companies. My relationship with any company is purely transactional, you make something I like and I give you money. You will not get any sort of admiration or loyalty from me beyond that. The moment you put out shit I'm done with them.
>>750176737I liked Bethesda and GGG up until very recently but they've screwed the pooch like every company before them.
>>750176737Until such time as these fucking vidya niggers make games that appeal to me they can all go to hell.
>>750176737Peal Abyss, CDPR, Warhorse, and a few others but they are kinda ass sometimes like SE and RGG
>>750176737Corporations are not your friend, but will act like it to get your money. So I don't "like" companies as a general rule.There are a few studios I trust will release something good, or, at worst, will make a mistake. I believe they won't make something intentionally bad for woke points or whatever.Digital Extremes I trust to continue doing what they're doing. They're pretty good about keeping the the worst excesses of GAAS stuff away and I like the direction of the game currently.Coffee Stain makes a lot of meme games but I trust them to not fuck over people and who they're publishing for now.They're verboten on /v/ now but I do generally trust Fromsoft to make quality products and to try slightly new things within the niche of of souls games.Similarly CDProjekt, so long as you don't buy into hype, has generally made good roleplaying games. I like 2077 and The Witcher series. I'm keeping an eye on Witcher 4 though. I might reconsider it if they do go full "Hear women roar" crapI don't like most of what Obsidian has been up to, but their Grounded team has been very good at delivering regular updates, on time, and those updates have substantial shit in them.
>>750176737I like Fromsoftware but it is hanging on what their next game Duckbloods would be.
>>750176953>>750176953>Peal AbyssGodly pick.
>>750176737>HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW ARTISTS
Larian's the only one I like. Swen is based and their games are great.
every company i used to love has lost my trust in some capacity. there are no companies i am a fan of, just companies i hate less than others
>>750176737I like Blizzard and Squaresoft, they no longer exist though.
Pearl Abyss, Shift Up. Gooks are killing it>inb4 actually killing it - no
>>750176737>CDPR>Larian>Atlus>Capcom>Konami>FromSoft>Santa Monicaall good
>>750177925This for americorpos. Fizzled out years ago, still mourn them. Thankfully asianslop has me covered and then some and then some
>>750176737Only Asia ones desu they're the only ones that understand games
>>750176737How can anyone hate Treasure?
>>750176737GGG, from software, larian, owlcat
>>750176737I'll buy From's stuff no questions asked, they haven't burned me yet. La Mulana, Cultist Simulator/Book of Hours, Noita and Void Strangers' devs also get the pass. Oh, and I like Kojimbo's recent stuff enough that I'll at least give whatever he cooks up careful consideration. I'm really struggling to think of big companies that I still like, Team Ninja's kinda been shitting the bed too much lately and the Capcom/Crapcom cycle makes it hard to expect consistent stuff from them.
Sure. Grasshopper, Kojima Productions too, Larian, Remedy, Double Fine, CD Projekt, Nintendo, Sandfall Interactive, Pearl AbyssI could keep going. I'm not a malcontent, I like plenty of games from plenty of studios. And honestly, I'm happy about almost everyone who's making things, even when they're things I don't enjoy. I genuinely want almost every studio and every creator, short of the ones producing shovelware, to be succesful. And I'm sad for every studio that has to close. I didn't like a single BioWare game. I hated the first two Mass Effect games, and those were supposed to be the good ones! And I'm still sad they god laid off.>>750176737Why didn't you like Death Stranding? I thought both of them were fantastic.
>>750176737Bethesda is one of the last devs run by white nerds for other nerds so I like them
>>750176808it's true, the people on this board defend Valve to the same degree that they attack every woke game developer
>>750176737I like Square Enix still.
>>750176737Platinum
>>750177925exactly the same>Epic: last good game they made was Gears 2. massive lolcow now>Valve: Started chasing trends instead of setting them>Tripwire: Look how they've massacred my boy :,(>Bungie: Couldn't make a good game since halo...>Id Software: Just let it die. Beating a dying horse isn't cool.>Maxis: Dead>Lionhead: Dead>Bizarre Creations: Dead
>>750179114>hindu like low iq mentalitydie
>>750176737he better have physint's trailer ready for TGA or asha will make his career end.
>>750176737Think about how every time Kojima gets fired, he moves on to a studio with even less oversight. Imagine how much this new game will suck.
>>750182570You'll get OD and you'll like it.
The development side of valve is okayI'm okay with Embark as the only shooter developer to put out multiple solid games in recent memory I still like id software
>>750176737two games reusing assets from his cancelled games. how did he even get money to travel to meet celebs?
Nihon Falcom is great and has been great forever
>>750176737rightyou know their next game is an interactive movie co-written by jordan peele, and their following title is a game / film hybrid designed to be consumed together
Fromsoft, Owlcat, Vanillaware, Wayforward.
>>750176808Problem is no Valve fan actually engages in most things they do, they either just really like Steam, love the time they spent in mid 2000s playing their actual good games, or are techbro redditors that just heckin' love Steam Deck and other hardware they make. You won't hear those talk about the bad side of Valve.
>>750179381How? Square has consistently sucked for 15+ years now. An entire generation of children have grown up with zero good SE games.
>>750176737Right now not really but I don't enjoy new games very much, the games I play are all from dead studios
I don't worship any studio or company
