## Resource

This week we're talking about the game developers that have earned our trust. The studios that can announce a logo, a teaser, or even just a name, and we're already sold. We share the developers behind some of our favorite gaming memories and discuss what makes a true "no skip" developer. We also talk about the studios that may have stumbled along the way, but still deserve one more chance.
