▲ 68 ▼ What game company from your childhood do you remember with fondness? (reddthat.com) submitted 2 years ago by Telorand@reddthat.com to c/gaming@beehaw.org 143 comments fedilink hide all child comments I was thinking about how I remember Maxis fondly, and I got to wondering what other people's experiences were like! Is your favorite still around? Are they still the same, or did they "change directions under new management?"
