Zipper... brings back memories of Crimson Skies... I loved that one. Ridiculous idea to make a combat flight simulator with a storyline, and a good one at that.

Gunman Chronicles made by Rewolf Software (and Valve) is still one of my favourite games of all time.
It's high noon in deep space.

Fun Fact: Registering that game on steam gives you the whole Half Life Platinum Collection like the other valve games do.

+1 on 38 Studios. Kingdoms is one of those games that's really fun but had some chinks that could have totally been ironed out in the sequel, I just hope that some day they'll be able to make it (or make a spiritual successor without the terrible name and weird/kinda boring lore).

I heard what happened to them. Such a sad way to go that a good game they worked hard on just didn't do as well as it should of.

Kurt Schilling (CEO) took a humongous loan (75 Million) from the state of Rhode Island to develop Kingdoms of Amalur.
Of course the game didn't make 75 million USD and he had Studio 38 went under bankruptcy and Kurt still owes money to Rhode Island

Condemned ain't as dead as you may think.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, Monolith Games are still very much alive. And latest rumors are that they're looking to team up with a smaller studio to get Condemned 3 made.

You can see PlatinumGames as Clover now though, just not under Capcom.

I still mourn the loss of many victims of EA:
- Westwood
- Origin
- Bullfrog Productions
- Maxis (accident waiting to happen)
And also:
- Black Isle
- Sierra Entertainment
- Lucas Arts
- Irrational Games
- Microprose
- Looking Glass Studios

While Hellgate London wasn't as finished a game as it could have been, part of that may have been due to the company's owner absconding with all the money, forcing the studio to close down prematurely as a result. This tragedy remains the biggest fiasco in computer publishing to date.

Recently, I started to play Mafia 2 and I am barely in the game(At chapter 4 but did mostly side stuff like find all wanted posters) and it is already becoming one of my favorite games. I think I might have some biased because I love anything mafia (maybe its because I'm Italian) and I love the 1940s era and the music and the atmosphere. It reminds me of another great game I love, L.A. Noire and that game I also enjoyed immensely. I was playing Mafia and I wanted to research more about the developers for their other games but it seemed that they have gone through what the Bioshock/ Irrational games studio went through and many people lost their jobs. It's really sad to see that this company is most likely not going to be making another mafia game or just a game in general. Mafia is so underrated and deserves a better metacritic score than it got.
What other games with studios that are defunct or closed or not mainstream anymore besides Mafia, Bioshock , or L.A. Noire?
