I always like to bring up this topic, its great way to get to know everyone..anywhoo

Treasure is probably my favorite developer...although they've been slipping these past few years (GBA gunstar heroes was a total let down) titles like Gradius V, Ikaruga, Bangai-o, Radiant Silvergun and Gunstar Heroes makes up for it....Also they have always been closely associated with Sega (they even published their more recent tittles) and anyone that has known me for more than 10 years knows that i used to be a huge Sega fan-boy back in the day
 
Favorite developer? Tough choice. I'll just list the developers I have faith in.

- Level 5
- BioWare
- Tri-Ace
- Insomniac
- Naughty Dog
- Konami
- Atlus
- Capcom
- Arc System Works
- Namco

Developers that have made my shit list:

- Midway
- EA
- Sega
- Nintendo
- SquareEnix

I'll say this much, the companies on my shit list don't have 100% of my hatred. However, they are constantly giving me more reasons to hate them, rather than like them.
 
nice list. I must say tho 2 of your shit list companies are doing some interesting things. This may be their chance to win ppl like us back. Midway just downsized, many speculate that they might be history in a few years...or since they have a tighter budget we'll get less crappy games...psy ops 2 anyone? And EA's "lets make original games" strategy looks awesome, i can't wait for mirrors edge and battlefield heroes.

The only defense i can come up with for sega is that 1) Sammy is screwing them over royaly and is half the reason why we have so many crappy 3d sonic games and 2) They are releasing original games, but no one is buying them, best example is psp's "crash"
 
Haha, nice. My favorite developer all-time is Capcom, even though they make stupid decisions a LOT. I actually have a lot of Namco games as well, but they piss me off like none other. Too bad the games they make are fun.

I have a soft spot for Atlus as a publisher (not a developer, so don't get those confused!) since I worked for Atlus USA.

My two favorite companies overall though are Treasure, like you noted, and Grasshopper Manufacture. Suda51 is one of my heroes :P When you can put seinen manga-style narrative into a video game, you automatically have my vote.
