Dead or not, Sierra was still an incredibly influential developer for the PC.

No.

Infinity Ward hasn't really done anything innovative in PC development.

Innovation is:
id creating the FPS genre
Valve setting new standards in cinematic gaming, and combining first-person perspective with puzzles (Portal)
Epic standardizing game engine development with the Unreal Engine
etc.

Infinity Ward is very influential. And Gearbox. For combining RPG elements with a first person shooter.

Just for you.

That is not FPS-y.

Do you actually mean most innovative PC game developer that uses a first-person perspective?

I'm saying innovative as in setting standards for game development.

Innovation as in setting standards for PC game development. And the companies I mentioned are mainly first-person [insert genre here] developers,

Well I have to say it Blizzard for its RTS games like Starcraft and Warcraft series, and for its MMO World of Warcraft. Whether you love or hate them you have to admit the belong on the list.

Telltale, bttf1-5 were good games I thought
Never played Half Life or Left4Dead, but I thought Valve was about as inventive as you could get with Portal, and Portal2
