Mojang stands high and mighty as this song plays, the other developers walking away in the background.
March Mayhem 2011 Is Over, Mojang Wins!
- Thread starter Spinwhiz
- Start date
lol @ everyone crying that "Mojang isn't a legitimate developer since Minecraft is still beta." They're still developing the game, right? Furthermore, as much as I love Bioware, Valve and Bethesda (my personal pick) if you think about it, do they REALLY need the advertising as much as a developer whose game is chiefly only known about through word-of-mouth? On top of that, As much as I love Bioware's earlier games, they needed to be taken down a peg because their overconfidence in their past history of making good games led them to churn out an at-best subpar sequel with Dragon Age 2. Hopefully the outcry surrounding it will keep them from ripping of their loyal customers in the future. In the meantime, they don't deserve or need any more attention for going back on the quality they'd been so eager to instill in their games in the past.
I wouldn't have a problem calling Turbine an underdog for the first March Mayhem but once you've won the competition I don't think they can rightly be called an underdog.Fappy said:
As for their winning streak, I think that has more to do with Turbine advertising MM in their launch window which got lots of Turbine fans over here.
I think this is supposed to suggest I should go buy minecraft instead of mooching it off of friends. But I really don't feel like coughing up $20 for something i'll likely forget about in no time.
After all, that's what my friend did, and that's how I'm getting to play it.

Finale should have been Bioware vs Valve. I still can't accept such crap as Mojang beating VALVE Really? VALVE? and the Bioware Again REALLY? Jesus Christ! Is anyone stupid enough to choose Minecraft which is just ok, over Portal, Half-Life, Baldur's Gate and Mass Effect? WHAT THE HELL? I've lost my faith in humanity.
I can respect Mojang, but I wonder how many people voted for them because they thought it would be amusing if Mojang beat giants like Valve and Bioware and not because of the quality of the games. Not that Minecraft is poor quality, it's just different quality. I'm not going to say Mojang should or shouldn't have won, but I personally would have voted for Bioware. Maybe that's just because I like games with character development and finite plots.
Congratulations to Mojang though.

What the feth Escapists!?
This man has made one game, sure it offers a huge window of creativity but really?
There are so many other companies that are so much deeper and have put out so much work and this guy gets it?
Dissapoint.
P.s. This reminds me of the Zynga thing last year...

You are aware that you can't truly assess the quality of something you've never tried, right?awesome_ninja said:
This is bothering me more than it should. There are people out there that actually think they can form opinions about things they've never tried. Where did you even get the multiple of 10 from? How can you assign a value to something you haven't measured?
This is very troubling. What if people applied this kind of thinking to real life? What if a doctors gave a diagnosis without actually seeing the patient? What if juries found defendants without hearing their cases? What if airline pilots attempted to fly without communicating with other pilots and air traffic control? What if voters arbitrarily decided which party to vote for, without considering either party's stance on current issues?
Does this mean you have to play MineCraft? Only if you want to form an opinion about it in relation to other games. Can you not play it, saying it's probably not for you? Absolutely. Did I need to write an essay about the importance of forming opinions based on information? The line of thinking in your post says yes.

There, see flame-warriors? Valve and Bioware still got the paid advertising contract! They didn't lose anything material, so please, quit acting like it's the end of the world.
OT: Nice. Great to see that the underdog can gain mass support through plain and simple hard work combined with a simple but awesome game concept. Gratz to Mojang, and to Valve and Bioware and Blizzard too!

Same here. I think I had them up against Gearbox or something in the finals, which I should have known would never happen.teh_spartan said:
