Forum:Notable Developers List?

Long time browser, first time participant. I had the idea of making a list of notable developers: current movers and shackers, dead/absorbed studios responcible for some of the all time classics, ect. A list of developers, along with notable franchises and background can be a great help to someone not sure what to rent/emulate over the weekend, since if you like a game or franchise from a particular developer, you're likely to enjoy their other games. It's also just helpful for the game enthusiast intrested in some gaming history, or for just gawking at the fact the same studio that made Crash Bandicoot in the 90's currently makes Uncharted.
