Which company is most important to you?

[TheMainEvent]

Let's say a corporation could simply be wiped off the face of the planet, all its products and services are no longer available and no one else will step into the vacuum to provide them.

If this were to happen to a company, which one would it be to have the greatest impact on you personally?

Exclude utility monopolies or companies you work for or invest in, or anything similar/obvious.

pokerstars shutting down would eff me up pretty hard too.

I guess Time Warner Cable, they do my cable/internet. After that Verizon Wireless, then who knows.

Microsoft

I thought of that too but it really just means I get out of my contract early.

i think answering the company that provides your phone/internet is stupid because you could just go through some other company

Yeah, but TWC and VZW in particular have always treated me very well and I've gotten excellent service/products etc compared to the competitors I've used. They're also the only 2 companies I could think of that I have any remote sort of loyalty to.

Edit: I also may have misunderstood where OP was going with this...
