Electronic Arts, Inc., also known as EA Games, is an American developer, marketer, publisher and distributor of video games headquartered in Redwood City, California. The figureheads of micro-transactions and top-tier disappointments. They are also noticeably repetitive (FIFA anybody).
They made goat simulator didn't they? That game I still brilliant.
I don't play video games anymore but I remember them being good.
Nowadays when I think of EA... immediately screams out ''SPORTS! SPORTS!, AND SPORTS! ''

Konami does a high amount of distributing products such as slot machines and arcade games, anime, video games, and trading / game cards. Konami also It says a lot when Hideo Kojima left Konami and seeing the company release a Metal Gear without Kojima's involvement.
These guys use to be kings. Now they are just a soulless shell of what they used to be.
They used to be good but now they barely make any games at all.
Activision Publishing, Inc. is an American video game publisher. It was founded on October 1, 1979 and was the world's first independent developer and distributor of video games for gaming consoles. Remember when there was great quality video games... not such much now money grabbers no matter if it's the latest coffin of a tony hawk game, or refusing to end the call of Duty series. Activision rightfully gets that distinctive hate for those reasons.
Capcom Co., Ltd., or Capcom, is a Japanese developer and publisher of video games, known for creating multi-million-selling franchises such as Mega Man, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney, and Monster Hunter, as well as highly successful games based on the Disney animated properties. There was no need to go with anymore Resident Evil games after the 6th game enough should of been enough.
They still do. Resident Evil 7 and Monster Hunter World were both solid.
Capcom's doing great with anything but Fighting Games
Sega Games Co., Ltd., originally short for Service Games and officially styled as SEGA, is a Japanese multinational video game developer and publisher headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with multiple offices around the world. Besides Sonic Mania, most of their stuff now is pure crap.
Remember when Sonic had great quality games?
Ubisoft Entertainment SA is a French multinational video game developer and publisher, headquartered in Rennes, France. At least they try when they do try to care like last years E3 with a ton of promise going into a different direction.
Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. is a Japanese video game developer, publisher, and distribution company that is best known for its role-playing video game franchises, which include the Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts role-playing game series. I love Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X, but if you ask me about the current state of things regarding Square Enix, its not exactly bright. I mean, look the release gap between Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts III. By the time the latter is released, we'd have had a lot of other Kingdom Hearts games that (While admittedly good) were made to explain complicated plot-holes found within the series in the time gap between KHII and KHIII. Lets also not forget Final Fantasy XV, which was released a decade after its announcement back in 2006 (Then known as "Final Fantasy Versus XIII") and the time it is taking on the Final Fantasy VII remake is noticeably long.
This company has its merits and is still making great-quality games, but its pretty clear they're money grubbers and take a boatload of time to make one game.
Final Fantasy XV was good from what I hear. They seem to be doing just fine lately.
Where the hell is the Final Fantasy VIII remake?!
I'd say they're still doing great.
