Nintendo did a heel face turn when they went from being a gay little greeting card company to becoming a godlike content creator and top tier nostalgiamancer for decades on.

sega did one with the sonic franchise i guess. hell anything after 06 is going to seem like a turnaround, and generations and mania were both good

Also Blue Bytes for every settlers since 4.

Konami effectively killing Silent Hills after PT is probably one of the most vile things a game company has ever done. i'm not even a huge survival horror person, and it makes me loving furious, lol.

IMO Square returned to gamings good graces with FFXV, Nier Automata, the FFXIV revamp, releasing the Hitman license, etc.

The outlet reports that for the former employees who filed the complaint, the issue is less with particular instances of offensive office jokes but rather the overall toxic work environment that they allegedly were born from. This includes allegations of long work weeks, sexual misconduct at work parties, and occasional racism.

Nintendo is the Sting of this faction. A fan favorite all the way through, even through the bad times, never strayed from the path of the light. All of their friends eventually betray them. The Switch is the equivalent of coming out of the rafters with a baseball bat and destroying everyone.

You could argue that the Dreamcast was a heel turn in the opposite direction from their multiple 90s disasters. Nobody cared at that point though...

It was super easy, all you needed was the 4mb ram expansion. I imported tons of games it was great

Bethesda is a tough one because their in-house Bethesda Studios poo poo is soulless but they're also apparently pretty decent to work with as a publisher and have put some games out there that I doubt they'd expect to be printing money. Kind of wish they got Deus Ex instead of Square-Enix, it seems like a good fit for them and now that series is probably dead until they try and reboot it in a few years
