Yeah, but if you checked their developers, none of them start with b.

Edit:
One of them's Microsoft, and I have trouble even indicating there might be something positive about that company. That's why I chose to list the game titles, which (I'm sure most will agree) are all works of quality.

But see, that's the problem. There's already a company that's named Badass Games.

The studios that made them will collapse and all the copies of their games will be eaten up by legal disputes and crocodiles. Just wait and see. *waits*

My "a" is capitalized, and I'm international. Being international means that my company is better.

...I accept your apology.

Well, don´t know all of them, but Half-life and Doom suck, Sims is the most stupid kind of game I´ve ever seen and Age of Empires is not soooo good either.........

Let's not be subjective because you might not like the games. Half-life is a very fine game, as is DOOM, though I personally don't play or like either. Sims is a work of genius, whether you like it or not. It's like Jane Austen. Can't stand her books myself but there is no denying they are brilliant in their way.

I believe Age of Empires set the template for RTS. I might be wrong. So you see, it is rather naive to suggest that these games 'suck' - they clearly don't, but of course, you don't have to like something to appreciate its quality.

Actually, the Age of Emires series was developed by Ensemble Studios. Unfortunetly for them they were closed down last year.

Seeing how the video game industry is dominated by males, I think everyone would get the wrong idea.

I can see it on Fox News now...
