It's indeed Tecmo's, but Nintendo decided not to bring it over America and Europe. They simply held it for themselves(Japan).

I mean from earlier before Xenoblade. There are a lot of RPG titles from Nintendo that they DIDN'T bring even in EU.

They do absolutely no support for older games, yes they even "forget" everything that's older than 5 years so it cannot be registered via their web site … No support, no marketing at all for Drakensang (THEY were the NA publishers for these 2 games as far as I know !), very restrictive in terms of copy protections … Plus they took the Homeworld license from Relic (and that game was the very reason why Relic came into being - hence their name).

The only other publisher with a similar bad image in my mind is Atari - and Activision.

Another reason why I hate THQ is that they showed no interest at all in releasing the Add-On for Zanzarah.

There is is, ready for almost 10 years, and it will never be published.

Because THQ owns all of the rights and is just too ignorant.

I must correct myself : The Add-On was never finished; the reasons are similar : Lack of money.

Not sure what you mean by large. I am Paradox's fanboy and they are publishing a good number of games every year.

I don't hate any of them. But I'm sure this would be different if I was working for them.

What Jaz said.

I like games too much to take some kind of principled stand, some of my favorite games are made by the "most eeeevil" of the bunch. Microsoft? for example, the "Age of…" rts titles are legend, no true RTS fan should go without playing them imo.

I just like playing games too much to give a rat's ass (no offense skaven bro) about the publisher hate trends we're supposed to ride along with.

No offense. I don't give a rat's ass either. I'll buy anything as long as it interests me. I just wish some of these devs would keep the SP games offline. That's one of the biggest things I "hate". Well that and spiders
