| Cheebee said: There's a summary out there somewhere listing all development companies that went under this past generation. I don't remember the details, but I was shocked by the sheer amount of devs that bit the dust. This gen's going to be far worse, I should think. I predict dozens upon dozens of devs going bankrupt. |
Here's some devs and publishers that died since late 2006, and some of the things they are known for.

But of course, the rise of Rovio and Angry Birds cancels all of this out. Never forget it!
