One could argue that EA is the best publisher for the DPaint series (not a game I know!!). Or is it Ocean as the Batman pack put the Amiga on the map in the UK proper, just as 2 of the 3 games in the Flight of Fantasy pack were also Ocean games!
We all have our favourites for various reasons. All the big publishers had their corkers and their flops. Who was the first to bail out when Amiga started to fail? Who hung around as long as they financially could? |

i am not sure on all this: publishers may have and show trust to projects and producers or sympathy for this or that machine and audience because they are persons behind the company names, and they may support the scene because they support some guide lines around the philosophy of a given product describing it as in tune to a lifestyle. for instance an important and full optional car as the status symbol for a people group whose lyfestyle' legitimacy is backed by the car producer.
but in the end the only rule there is profit, as in nature, no right or wrong judgement. so i prefer thinking about the various accents and slants of the various producers instead. for instance, about the same car exemple i've used: its designer did not drawn it only because of the profit: they of course had to focus their design having in mind a kind of audience, the one that, by buying would have made possible the production of the actual car, but they mostly (at best of course) design it so because it's good and their own. |

My fave publish is Magic Bytes. Some games may be crappy but one of the most famous publisher I like is Lucas Arts or Psygnosis
The worst publisher in my option probably "Elite" Bahhh for those crappy games |
