R.I.P.Hudson Soft - sad to see such an old company gone. After all, Bomberman it's just iconic as Mario or Sonic.
R.I.P.Sony Liverpool(Psygnosis) - spent many hours on various Wipeout games.
R.I.P. Spellbound and thank you for your games (one notable exception, there, but i won't hold a grudge for it)
R.I.P. Zipper Interactive - was nice playing SOCOM on PS2 and PSP
R.I.P. Big Huge Games\38 Studios and thanks for Rise of Nations (especially for Rise of Legends) and Kingdoms of Amalur
R.I.P. BigBig Studios - your Pursuit Force series is not easy to forget.
R.I.P Black Hole Entertainment - maybe not too many games developed, but definitely some to remember (Armies of Exigo, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos\Battle March, HOMM6)
R.I.P. Paragon - was marvelous to roam the streets of City of Heroes and for that i thank you
R.I.P. Rockstar Vancouver (Barking Dog Studios) and thanks for Homeworld Cataclysm, Bully and MP3)

For me probably the biggest loss is big huge games. Mostly because of the traditional RoN, rest was not so good

It's sad to see studios like R* Vancouver, Big Huge Games, Spellbound, 38 Studios here.. a real shame.

why would anyone give a shit that a r* studio closed? seriously, its like crying over an EA studio getting shut down... well not quite, you get the feeling EA gives more of a shit about pc gaming than rockstar does these days, so id mourn EA before i ever do anything to do with rockturd 
also sony liverpool (psygnosis), meh.. yeah wipeout was great - indeed, i enjoyed a lot of their games when i was young and they put their games out on pc... but that was a LONG time ago. when was the last time you saw wipeout on pc? who cares that theyre gone. neeeeext.
bigbig i dont miss. i loved pursuit force, it was easily a highlight of the psp, and made it a fun system to own, but aside from that, another console developer goes down and who cares? theres like a billion ready to take its place.

No GSC (at least on the text, fuck derpGN videos)?! 
I'd sacrifice all those other studios just for my STALKER 2...

Rockstar Vancouver.... so the only R* studio from which we got an optimized PC port is shut down. 
1 and 2 are still amazing.
