This makes me wonder, what's the oldest game studio that hasn't devolved into utter garbage or been bought and took out behind the barn?
Blizzard, Maxis, EA, Rockstar, Bungie, Lionhead, every name I can think of from the old days is now utterly disgraced or just dead.
Sierra is still going, kind of. It seems to have devolved into a handful of people with very little money. I actually applied to a job posting from them a couple years ago.
Seems the only source of half decent games that aren't actively exploiting people is just indie studios. Nothing against indie, but it's hard for a couple of people in their free time to compete with the kind of quality and innovation we used to get from the old guard.
