Jordy. Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) http://www.escapistmagazine.com/global/tou...lopers-Showdown Okay, I'm not usually into this sort of thing. It's all just a vehicle for flaming and fanboy wars. But look at this link. Zynga, the developer for facebook cluttering games such as Farmville and Mafia Wars, is winning by votes against Valve, the creators of Half Life, Left 4 Dead etc. and the founders of Steam. That. Is bullsh*t. What's worse is that one easy method of voting is by linking to your facebook account. Thats f*cking fair, right? Want more? Zynga already beat Rockstar North and Square Enix in the polls. What the actual sh*t. I don't want to see a wonderful fan friendly and revolutionary company like Valve to be beaten by YOUR FRIEND HAS FOUND A LOST COW ON THEIR FARM! OH NO! I'm sure you'd rather not have that happen either.. maybe. Have a vote, lads. EDIT: Damn this site is awkward to navigate. Here's the voting link: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/rea...ynga-vs-1-Valve Edited April 2, 2010 by Jordy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak2121 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Most of the people who vote for Zynga don't even know what they're voting for. But honestly is this really that important? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are these polls ever important? It's just for the sake of pride/aggrovation toward certain devs. Plus Valve mentioned it on the Steam update news, it must mean something to them. Bless.

Creed Bratton Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I really don't care. Most of those idiots don't even know who Valve is and they don't even know what they are voting for. Most Facebook users are idiots anyway. It's not like this will make Valve less popular or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy. Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Do actors who miss out on winning an Oscar become less popular? Do bands who miss winning a grammy become less noticed? Actually, I have no idea what the answers are. What can I say? I'm a facebook user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlitement Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'm not nearly as mad about the actual Zynga thing in that competition as I am about the f*cking idiots in this thread holding a grudge against R* North for reasons not stated and that I could never comprehend. Call me close-minded, or whatever, but I don't think a person who gives R* North no credit at all for the sheer amount of work they put into their games (even if you don't "enjoy" the games, which I can somewhat understand) deserves to even call themselves a casual gamer.

Jordy. Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 Zynga - 50.1% (12905) Valve - 49.9% (12849) You've got to give Valve supporters credit, going up against the masses of facebook. It makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 As a closet Farmville player I agree it is a load of crap as to me Farmville isn't and shouldn't be lumped in with "real" games its more like those time wasting casual games. Honestly though these awards hardly matter, well to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick88 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 It isn't really that much of a surprise, those games are very casual. Virtually every facebook friend I have plays Farmville. I don't, never really got into those games, except for Mafia Wars, that was fun for a while but got old fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnyboy Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I play a crap load of Zynga games on Facebook, in fact that's all I play on Facebook. It's actually easier to get a Farmville or Mafia Wars Coin card in stores then it is a Valve game. As much as I like Valve games, Zynga's got my vote for quality through out several different games on a huge fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Wow. f*cking ZYNGA vs Valve? Oh my god. I voted for Valve <3. But I'm pretty sure most of the people who vote for Zynga don't even know what/who Valve is. If Zynga wins this, be prepared to have your FB pages filled with "You were farming when you found a lost Valve. Oh noes!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptiko Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Its funny that some fags who make sh*t flash games for the masses beats a top developer. I find it also amusing that to vote, one way is facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
