First thought was EA
I initially thought that too, but immediately remembered that I have zero expectations from them so have never actually been disappointed.

I just think EA comes to mind anytime game companies are mentioned under a negative light

Konami. Seeing them go from one of the all-time greats to literally nothing with lots of disgusting behavior along the way was painful. Still hurts to know just how many legendary IPs they're sitting on with absolutely zero plans beyond pachinko machines.

Also surprised no one has said Bethesda yet.

My real answer not so long ago would have been Capcom - holy cow what a turnaround they had. At their lowest I thought they were on track to be Konami-tier but then out of nowhere BOOM RE7, Monster Hunter World, DMC5, RE2R, RE3R all within three years and all incredible quality titles.

My first thought was Nintendo, then I thought that can't be right, but no one else came to mind.

As much as I love Nintendo, they still gave us Skyward Sword, Other M, and Color Splash (off the time of my head). Plus, WHERE THE FUCK IS MY NEW F-ZERO GAME NINTENDO?!? GODDAMMIT!

Oh god how did I not think of Rare. I'm even willing to give them Viva Pinata, but Kinect Sports? Really? Sea of Thieves tired to bite off way more than it could chew and they're newest game looks to be the same.

Seriously though 90's nostalgia is at a peak right now, plus Banjo is in Smash and I think Rare Replay was a pretty big success. How are they not using their franchises?

Hudson Soft

Leave it to me to think of a company thats been dead for the greater part of a decade, but oh well!

The N64 Bomberman games were my great loves; yet not long after them, there was a decade-plus draught of good Bomberman games. (And that is just stopping the clock with Hudsons death; the last eight years are on Konami.)

I did like Bomberman Land Wii, though it was a collection of minigames rather than a core Bomberman game, but even that was a remake of a game from 2000!

Blizzard.

Quite a lot of things stick out in recent memory like the Honk Kong thing or the 'remastered' Warcraft III that literally made the original game worse.

For a non-first thought, personally, it's probably Konami...used to love a number of their games on the nes and beyond. Now they care more about pachinko than their games, earning the ire of many a gamer.
