Top 5 game companies?

[UnderwaterFunktown]

I kinda had an idea to make a favorite game company by decade thread but for now I'll just post my picks here. Feel free to steal that idea if anybody wants.

1990s:

1. Konami
2. Square
3. Nintendo
4. Game Freak
5. Valve

90s Konami is underrated, they were killing it back then with Symphony of the Night, MGS, Silent Hill, Suikoden. Square and Nintendo had better singular games in FF7 and OOT though.

2000s:

1. Bandai Namco
2. Blizzard
3. Nintendo
4. Valve
5. Atlus

Nothing beats the golden era of Tales games, arguably the 3 best entries back to back within 5 years. Blizzard was also killing it with Warcraft III and WoW.

2010s:

1. Blizzard
2. Bandai Namco
3. Nintendo
4. CD Projekt Red
5. PlatinumGames

I played everything Blizzard released in the 10s and though it wasn't all perfect it was all pretty damn good. CD Projekt Red might be first if they had released a bit more. Bandai Namco might seem weird up here but don't forget they developed Smash 4 and Ultimate.

2020s:

1. Nintendo
2. Crowbar Collective
3. Omocat
4. Santa Monica Studio
5. Moon Studios

This one's based almost exclusively on individual games, since we're so early in the decade. Crowbar Collective and Omocat are behind Black Mesa and OMORI for those who don't know, both unlikely to release more games if we're being honest.

Overall Nintendo is of course my choice having stayed in the top 3 through every decade.
