If you could save one now defunct studio, who would it be and why?

Oh yeah, right. That is also a tragic story, basically Reggie killed Cing. The reason is: they had some minor success with Another Code (called Two memories in the US) and Hotel Dusk. They made sequels for both, with moderate budget basically planned around the games selling like their predecessors. They did - in Japan and Europe. But half of the sales of the original games came from the US, and even though Nintendo of Europe had already made the localization to english, Nintendo of America denied publishing of Another Code R and Secret Window. As this meant it fell short of the sales expectations that had included american sales. Cing went into debt, a ridiculously low amount for a company 256 million yen (less than 3 million dollar). So yeah, NoA killed Cing because they didn't want to publish niche games (not only from Cing, that included also Monoliths Disaster: Day of Crisis and Xenoblade Chronicles, Mistwalkers Last Story and Ganbarions glorious game Pandora's Tower).

This crap is why I don't get why people fawned over Reggie. He spent an awful lot of time telling Americans what they wanted instead of asking them what they wanted. 

I've never heard of Cing before, but it doesn't look like Nintendo ever owned them.  Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, anyone could have bought them.
