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

Oh right, Sir-Tech was also one of the greats.

Sir-Tech's spirit lives on in Japan, where they've kept the Wizardry series alive. It might not be the same as Wiz 8 or the Bradley titles, but it is something.

EA, on the other hand, has been sitting on the Ultima IP. Richard Garriott has apparently offered to buy or license it back, but to no avail. On the other hand, Garriott himself was dabbling in NFTs for awhile, hopefully he's given that stuff up. 

Thing is, it only covers the Llylgamin series (essentially the first 3 and the 5th title, as the 4th is mostly skipped over) and not the more story-heavy and generally more developed Savant saga.

And still, the last release of a Wizardry title apart of the remaster of the first one is almost 15 years ago (2011 with Wizardry Online). They have been sitting on the IP too - it's just not nearly as egregious as EA or Ubisoft.
