Would anyone mind explaining to me why [my favorite developer] didn't win, and why Mojang winning a contest decided by votes is a big deal? I mean, isn't it more of a popularity contest anyway?

Advertising Contract
Woah, wait. There was an advertising contract? I would have been voting for Mojang the whole time, even against Valve. They need it as an indie developer.

Hey, guys?Was DA2 that phenomenaly bad that Bioware deserved this?

Also Minecraft doesn't have any advertisement,yes?Which is what made it such a big indie hit. Now with advertisement people will say they sold out and it will fail.Mark my bitter words!

Really, with alll the hate on DA2, this was kind of TBE. Well, the last round, anyways.

Where do you see how much a developer won by in the brackets? It doesn't show me a vote count anywhere...

there is still not reason majong should have beat valve or nintendo
Because no one played Alien Swarm and we're all still sore over Metroid other M? Apparently it's supposed to be about who was best this year, not overall.


But...but why did everyone forget "THIS"? ^^ Its recent too :(.

Grats Mojang, glad to see them stuff it in the big guys faces! Maybe others will take note.

People sure are getting bent out of shape over this crap, it's just a voting competition people, no need to get the panties in a tussle. I am happy to see the underdog pull through though, maybe this will get them to redouble their efforts into finishing this game finally!

*insert sarcasm about how I would have never known*

*insert generic "half-a-game" argument*

*insert rant about Valve's older titles on a contest about 2010 developers*

*insert rant about some multiplayer based FPS game that should have won, even though it was only half a game itself*

*insert rage about how Mojang should be trolled to death*

Did I miss one?

Well done Mojang!

They won an advertising contract?
What are they going to advertise?...

Mojang? The Minecraft dudes? Why? Mmmh...I dunno about this...with the other contenders and all...mmh something feels off...oh well, who cares I don't even remember what the prizes were. Is Minecraft really that fun? I dunno cuz I never played.
