Ensemble Studios: 1995 to 2009
Creator of such RTS games as the Age of Empires series, Age of Mythology, Halo Wars, and some Star Wars game I forgot existed.
Was acquired by Microsoft in 2001, between the release of AoE2 and AoM. Microsoft then decided to close them down during the development of Halo Wars. Halo Wars went on to sell a couple million copies and had good reviews, but I guess a PC-oriented studio was not what Microsoft wanted.
