Westwood Studios

Game company profile: Westwood Studios

Westwood Studios was a prominent American video game developer and publisher that played a significant role in the history of the video game industry. Founded in 1985 by Brett Sperry and Louis Castle, the company was headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. Westwood Studios was known for its innovative and influential games, particularly in the real-time strategy (RTS) genre. 

Westwood Studios had a significant impact on the real-time strategy genre, setting standards for gameplay mechanics and storytelling that influenced many other games in the genre. The use of live-action video cutscenes became a hallmark of Westwood's games.

In 1998, Westwood Studios was acquired by Electronic Arts (EA), one of the largest video game publishers in the world. Unfortunately, Westwood Studios was eventually closed down by Electronic Arts in 2003, and many of its former employees went on to work on other projects. The closure marked the end of an era in the RTS gaming world.
