¿Question #1160?

aradraug: Jirasgames
pwilz: I can't think of any, but this is a good question.
chearns: Mayday Games. Valley/Radiant/WhateverTheyCallThemselvesNext Games. Dyskami Publishing Company. All for dodgy business practices.

Phil Fleischmann: Hasborg, Hasbrolon Hill, Hasards of the Coast - dumbed down versions of once-great games

themagni: I don't get anything from Mayfair, Rio Grande, or Avalon Hill.
DHEK: Hmmm... maybe those family-type game companies like Parker Brothers.
Guantanamo: No
Gecko23: TSR, course they are no more.
POvidiusNaso: Maybe Eagle. I bought one or two, but they're kind of buggy.

PsyJam: Not really
dmomo: No.
mgoddard: No

orodreth: Is Habro a naughty word around here?
brainrob: No
bigbadsteve: not that i can think of

apotheos: Not really

AlorielLelyn: Can't think of one, no
Jose: Yes. Hasbro. Ok, I said it...now sue me. ;-)
sumo: Cheapass. I don't like anything about them, especially their games. An entirely negative element of the games industry. Shall I stop now?
jpact: No. But there are publishers that make me hesitant.
wtrollkin2000: Yes, more than one. Kenzer and Company would be the worst.

buergerberatung: ravensburger (excluding alea)
m_r_tyler: I avoid Cheapa$$ just because of the name.

Blackwind: University Games! RUN!!!
sos1: Yes
djlg: Cheap Ass & Avalanche Press
jttm: Hmmm.... maybe Cheapass? or Cardchess?
ynnen: Yes. I'm pretty leery of anything Steve Jackson Games comes out. Their only redeeming quality is the occassional use of Jon Kovalic artwork.

CortexBomb: Eagle comes to mind
CDRodeffer: Not really, but in general, I have been patently unimpressed with Fantasy Flight.
ValJor: CheapAss
