VALVE
Personally I somewhat dislike EA but they still put out the games that I love seeing (BF3, Simcity, etc.), despite the fact that they're trying to get into the digital marketplace industry with Origin and I just wish they wouldn't. They are being successful in it slightly, though.
I also dislike the "Games for Windows" portion of Microsoft, specifically. Really, I think it's absolutely useless out of any digital marketplace software I've ever used. The only useful time I can honestly think of GFWL is when Age of Empires III Complete Collection was 99 cents or one cent, I can't remember which. When Dawn of War II: Retribution was released and abandoned GFWL in favor of Steamworks, I was very happy because I didn't have to suffer with GFWL signing in and it's shoddy online backwork.
I am a little upset with AT&T for my cell phone too, because I just got a Samsung Galaxy S2 refurbished for $10. But the signal quality is lack luster. I'm not sure if it's my own phone's antenna, but even under a bridge I can lose signal which is rather upsetting personally. Still happy with the phone and in general the speed of AT&T's network.
Finally, I absolutely detest Ubisoft and their DRM policies. Their DRM is absolutely atrocious and it's a complete offense to PC gamers. I'm not buying a single Ubisoft game until they stop using incredibly harsh DRM techniques.

Yeah, VALVe has a few good things. VALVe hasn't really given a stuff for its players, which is something I've realized with my experience playing TF2.

Seems legit.

Nintendo, even though I'm VERY slowly loosing interest. They'd better get to work on that next Smash Bros.
I am a big fan of Sonic, but I'm not fond of Sega. Sonic is the only thing from Sega that I really like.
I want to like Valve, but my computer's too stuffty to run Steam.

They would have to do something really nice and different with the next Smash Bros to make it worth buying. They have pretty much used up all of the characters and courses, unless they wanted to start doing all that gay anime stuff in which case the game would suck.
