I'd probably feel saddest if Nintendo went out even though I don't like the Wii as much as other systems. Their games have a charm about them.

Sony since I grew up playing PS. More specifically I'd be sad if naughty Dog shut down. Crash bandicoot, Jak and Uncharted are all amazing games.

Probably Nintendo. When they're at their best, their games are untouchable. Although I am tired of some of their franchises (Zelda mostly), if they went out of business so would many of the greatest game series of all time.

It's a good thing Ninty won't be going out of business anytime soon!

nintendo for many reasons and i know that wont happen since they sell at a profit so good luck with that

or sony ,

these 2 are the big dogs -those 54 wii and 59 ps3 first party games tell the whole story

it beats the measily 36 offered by the xbox 360 first and 2nd party , '

so without a doubt sony nintendo they do more for this industry then microsoft did ,

after all the only games we will lose if any is halo lol a laughable ip ,

I would have to say Nintendo. Which is the last true videogame company. Microsoft and Sony make other products. Nintendo just does videogames. Consoles and games.

The NES,SNES,N64,Gamecube,Wii and soon the WiiU. Gameboy,GameboyColor,GameboyAdvance,Gameboy Advance Sp,Gameboy micro.The DS/DSlite/DSi/DSXL and currently 3DS.

And the Nintendo franchises Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Donkey Kongetc

The only device that Nintendo failed remains the Virtual Boy. So yes I've owned most of Nintendo's game machines and played many Nintendo games. So yes out of them all Nintendo would be missed if it did go under.

Sony. The Playstation consoles simply must continue.

Or a game developer - Rockstar. One of the most reliable and awesome developer's currently around.

So big, that they release them half finished and full of glitches and framerate issues.

What are you talking about? They always release their patches 10 months after DLC. DUH... 8)

I would probably be most sad if Capcom went out of business. So many great games that I've enjoyed and still enjoy have come from this developer.

Valve and Blizzard. Valve = No Steam = Me so very saaaad. Blizzard = I'd be a lonely little larva with no Queen to cuddle me or creep to play on. I wouldn't even be motivated to morph into anything.

Probably Insomniac. For the most part they've always made consistently solid games, and I love Ratchet and Clank. Also, I would probably miss Atlus if they went out of business. I would have said Bioware, but I've just felt a bit disappointed by them lately.

Only game companies I would like to see die are Activision and EA.

They just suck.

For the rest I wish them much profits and long life.

Favorites are Valve and Rockstar.

Why would you want EA to die? They develop and publish tons of great games! Need For Speed, Burnout, Crysis, Mass Effect, Battlefield, Dead Space, Sims, Dragon Age, Medal Of Honor etc.

because there are so many companies that make bigger games with no issues.... Oh wait there isn't. When you do something that no other company does, you're going to have issues. Anyways Obsidian going out of business would suck. Tehy're the only non european company making large RPG's whose not continually taking things out but adding them in.

They gobble up the studios that make these great games, disband them, and then churn out cookie-cutter sequels for the next 10 years.

I am convinced Activision and EA are just shell companies run by lawyers and greedwhores.

EA I am mostly angry about Online Pass.

Activision because a dirtbag like Bobby Kotick runs it.

Bethesda. Although they could certainly do a lot more quality control testing before releasing their games, the content is usually fantastic.

none ( cant feel bad for a million/billion dollar company going out of business ) tho i would be happy to see NetherRealmStudios go out of business ( i actually really like the new MK, i just hate that douche bag Ed Boons guts with a passion and wish someone else had the reigns to such a awesome franchise )

Epic- Gears is one of my favorite game series and Bulletstorm was a fun new IP

Bungie-Halo is my favorite game series and I love their work. Can't wait to see what their new IP is

Bioware-KOTOR and Mass Effect

Game Freak-Pokemon FTW

Rockstar - for making GTA & Max Payne and then being attacked by a ton of special-interest groups (which is always funny). Valve - If Episode 3 doesn't get made it'll be a sin against mankind. Bethesda - for making games that are so entertaining and immersive that people don't mind that they're full of bugs. Irrational Games - I wanna play BioShock Infinite. Also, Ubisoft because I really enjoy Assassin's Creed. If Konami went out of business now I'd be a bit meh since the Metal Gear franchise is basically over (it's not Metal Gear without Snake IMO) I would also say Oddworld Inhabitants but they haven't made anything original in years and the Oddboxx was an awful PC port.

Bioware. They haven't released any exceptional games in the past two years, but for more than a decade I've been playing their consistently good, and sometimes great (Bauldur's Gate) games. I can't think of any other company that has managed to release top-tier games for more than a decade.
