What is your three favorite publishers?

[dyremose]

#1 paradox interactive.. They have caught some flak in the past because of a lot of smaller dlc that seems expensive for what you get, but considering their titles is 40$instead of 60 and no microtransactions. In these troubled times this bussiness model suddenly seems like they be the good guys. The other big reason is because they produce some excellent strategy games with and incredible amount of depth. Something the industry lacks in general, and the genre I crave the most

#2:Sony. Diversity is the big reason here. Everything from platformens in ratchet and clank, to hack and slash in God of war, shooters in killzone, action-adventure in uncharted. Alternate future in horizon zero dawn. Superhero games in spiderman, survival horror in untill dawn, racing games in gran tourism. and a lot of story driven games that you don't see often these days (the last of us part 2). Heck. They even have a first party sports franchise in Mlb:the show. This is just some of the franchises they produce and it feels like sony is the only company trying to give everyone something to be excited for. Compare this to EA which is going in the extreme opposite direction. Cancelling a star wars game to make it more 'streamlined' as in more multiplayer focused for increased player retention and continued monetization.

#3. Nintendo. Nintendo has yet to go full in on the newest craze in videogames to destroy great experiences with microtransactions and loot boxes. They have a great portfolio of classic franchises that consistently keeps a high level of quality even decades old.. Although i would rather have them be a 3rd party to other more powerfull consoles (which would save us all around 300$ every 5 years, + some space in the media center.) Nintendo masters the art of making games fun and joyfully.
