I'm surprised "someone" didn't say this, but Platinum for me. Anything they do, I am apart of and want in. They're on of the few remaining companies that feel genuine about their games and what they do. Sales and sticking to the norm don't seem to be what they're about. Their games have life, colours, character and plenty of memorable scenes, characters, lines etc. I'm not one to be loyal to a company, that's kinda sickening to say(personally) but there are some I have more trust in than others.
As much as I hate Capcoms business practices, again, they are the only other company I can think with that constantly produce high quality entertainment. In depth mechanics, nice graphics and can give us new IPs when we want. Capcom are company of incredibly talented people and yet, their business practices are fucking horrendous. Yes, EA and Ubisoft are worse, but Capcom only effect me because of the amount of their games that I buy.
Another would probably be Nintendo. I've grown to dislike them more and more and still do, but they are one of the few companies (and hardware manufacturers) that do everything wrong...in all the wrong areas. While Microsoft and Sony are happy to let publishers shit on their customers/players with season passes and locked DLC, Nintendo don't do any of that but instead give us region locking, or a shite account system, or near non-existent online/social gaming functionality and so on. I don't feel like I've been conned or scammed when I buy their games. They're polished, complete and very well made. They don't have this aggressive nature that so many other companies have about DLC, "being bigger and more epic" for hardcore gamers. They feel sincere and away from the smog of the other consoles.
I do own the other consoles and enjoy them (I'm loving the Xbox One) but I do feel like the Wii U is a very different experience...in a good way.
The only two companies I honestly dislike and will never purchase any of their games is EA and Ubisoft. Overrated companies that fail to produce anything that is even remotely good. Any time I give them a chance, they fuck it up. I caved and bought Child of Light, only to find this uPlay bullshit was forced upon me and the achievements were glitched. I have Ubisoft another chance late last year and they managed to fuck up Tetris. EA just kill off companies an are the definition of a sleezy corporate company, a husk of a decent entity. I'm tempted to get a new game like Mirrors Edge and Need For Speed or the next good Rayman, but I'm always in "vote for your wallet" camp.
