I was thinking about how I remember Maxis fondly, and I got to wondering what other people's experiences were like!

Is your favorite still around? Are they still the same, or did they "change directions under new management?"

Psygnosis, later known as Studio Liverpool.

Sony shut them down a few years ago. Man seeing that old owl logo hits me hard in the nostalgia bone.

Harmless games, also bought and shut down by Sony.

They seem to consider only massive franchises like GoW and TLoU and Horizon worth their time... But most gamers need variety outside the mainstream game genres, so I don't see why they are shutting down anything with a smaller fanbase.

Maybe those smaller teams create tools or assets (or maybe it's the team itself) that they want.

Capitalists can't let anyone have fun when there's profit to be made.
