Hey,least you got a higher score than me,AND I FILLED OUT THAT MOJANG WOULD WIN!!!! But yeah clap clap clap for the indie underdog,next year we won't be so nice to you =PSgt. Dante said:
Oh I know! they should wait until next year before they release the full game, that way the will win again!
a developer with not one complete game should not have been in this contest, this is not a fanboy cry, this is a logical outcome.
Okay, I'm sorry to say it but... this is idiotic.
Minecraft is great; its new, its arguably innovative, everyone seems to like it, and it is amazing that one guy was able to do that alone and be so successful.
But its just one game. Mojang, despite a great achievement, won because of a fad, because everyone jumped on the band wagon of praise.

I'd have liked to see Blizzard win, given the amount they did last year.
Not really a huge fan of minecraft, don't have the imagination or patience, and don't really think they deserved to win over all the other devs in the running.
Never mind, whats done is done. Well done Mojang.

Haters gonna hate, and I cackle with glee as they do.
March Mayhem isn't a competition based on merit - it never has been. The Escapist staff toils for MONTHS choosing the Game of The Year, based on the merits of the games nominated.
March Mayhem is an opportunity for you, the loyal readers, viewers, and fans of The Escapist to say (often very loudly) what you as a community think about the games we all enjoy. It's a developer showdown because there are so many games that come out every year, that choosing 64 of them would be a tireless chore beginning after last year's winner is decided. It's also an opportunity for said developers to get some free advertizing, by tweeting, myface journalblogging, and whatever other means they see fit to get people to vote for them. It's 100% the opposite of Game of the Year, so just relax.
In any case, I'm glad to see Mojang win. Their transparency with the development of Minecraft has been a refreshing look at how small devs CAN make big games.

Meh, the only thing surprising is how many people voted for *that pile of sod that gave me the most boring hours of my life* Minecraft
What an utter load of tripe. A game developer whose only game is made of BLOCKS!!! Utterly freaking ridiculous.
As always happens in award ceremonies, people just like what's new. In a few years, people will forget all about Minecraft and Mojang, and will return to the companies with more than one game on their resume. Still, a wasted winner for this year nonetheless.
I don't like Minecraft personally, though I can see why Mojang won... It's about recent achievements more than overall achievements I think, thats why its a yearly competition.
Anyway I wouldn't particularly care if my favorite developer won this since I'm just frankly glad that this MM bullshit is over for another year.
