CD Projekt: hot and rising thanks to the Witcher 2, the impending X360 release and GoG
Larian: Rising due to well-received Dragon Knight Saga
Pirhana Bytes: Steady / Rising due to return-to-form Risen and buzz around Risen 2
Eidos Montreal: Rising due to buzz around Deus Ex
Bethesda: Steady due to consistency in execution and well-paced release schedule. unlike other AAA devs, Bethesda doesn't tinker w their formula for their game designs too radically (see: Bioware)
Reality Pump: Steady due to ok-received TW2
Bioware: dubiously falling due to troublesome TOR buzz, DA2 and their whole DLC system.
Obsidian: dubiously falling due to bad buzz on Dungeon Siege 3 and Alpha Protocal outweighing whatever storytelling strengths New Vegas brought to the table.
Small Indies like Basalisk, Heroic Fantasy Games, Spiderweb Software: steady - they do what they do and they do it well
any i've missed? MMRPG devs? non=rpg centric devs? console rpg devs? non-traditional platform devs?
