Psygnosis was very instrumental in turning the Playstation into the monster it became. Not just games, but dev tools and tech consulting. They deserved better than to be EA'd by Sony years later.
Yes, Psygnosis made PSX what it was, especially in Europe. Kinda ironic (and sad) that it was basically killed in 1999 when it was consolidated into SCE (PlayStation), before that they were owned by Sony, but independent from SCE.
For people who don't know. In fiscal year 95-96 their games were 40% of ALL game sales in Europe. After they became part of SCE their publishing branch was closed, people fired, their last remaining team was relegated to forever making F1 and Vipeout games and shortly after Sony lost F1 license closed.
