In this order for me:

  1. Capcom

  2. Squaresoft (Enix)

  3. Konami

The big three I had in my regular playing rotation growing up. And while over the years all three have fell off in various ways from their golden age of gaming status, I still keep coming back to them.

Biohazard, Final Fantasy, Castlevania, shame though that Castlevania is dead in the water, save for a good anime adaption.

    Edmund McMillen: The Binding of Isaac was one of the first games I ever bought for myself. Rebirth is one of the most impressive and influential roguelikes ever. Excited to see what he and Glaiel are cooking with Mewgenics after so many iterations.

    FromSoftware: Dark Souls kinda signified my second stage of freeze-gamer development. I even bought my first PC controller for it! Formed a disturbing amount of my identity around the series from 2014 to like 2017

    Larian: I haven’t even played Baldur’s Gate 3 yet! I just love Divinity: Original Sin II.

      McMillen genuinely interacting with the Isaac community and developing the game around their feedback when I was playing was so dope. I know he’s obviously antitheist but I always wondered if he was a comrade for some reason.
