Back in the 90s and 00s, you could always name a few AAA studios in their prime who you’d say were the elite developers that you'd be lucky to work with. At various times Blizzard, DICE, Naughty Dog, Bungie, Valve, etc.

Who is that today? Does any such company exist any more? If not, why not?

Trying to make a little roguelite hack n' slash for @github.com's #GameOff 2024. Never realized how much more complicated melee combat is to implement compared to projectiles. I'm drowning in hurtboxes, hitboxes and state transitions. 🎯
