March Mayhem: This is Madness!

[Serum211]

No i dont mean the contest, i mean the number of posts in the Zynga vs. Valve poll. Over 7500 replies! This is not normal. And think about it. its almost a day and half left of voteting before this is over! And the worst part is the fact that Zynga is winning! I cant belive it!
And Bioware is in the lead agianst Blizzard but this can still change. And thats all for now.
See you all soon

Madness.....

Don't count out Valve just yet. Valve fans are Zerg rushing as we speak.

I got to be honest. Its beautiful seeing gaming fans from all the developers setting aside their differences and joining together to aid valve.

This didn't need a thread. Basically no discussion value and you could have posted this in the actual poll.

7500 replies, that's nothing, my thread has 20000+ replies so that is nothing special to me.

Is it in Forum Games or Off-topic/Gaming discussion?

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Well all the Escapist loves (minus myself) Valve. If i remember they made portal and team fortress 2 and apparently those are the Escapist lovers games of choice. So they aren't out of it yet.

OH you got me I must confess its in Forum Games with a set of dedicated posters, sort of my second home

People are flipping AS WE SPEAK. I've gotten three messages on Live to vote for Valve. Let Zynga win, why does it matter? Ever heard of, "You can't stop what is inevitable"? Well, it's inevitable, Zynga is going to win. So stop crying about it. Like, now.

But it's possible that Valve can win. I'm all for them beating Zynga, and it is possible.

May I ask why you don't love/like them?

It's a nice feeling, seeing all the differences thrown aside in the face of a common Zynga enemy.

To be fair, Zynga has been less damaging to gaming as a whole. My hope is that Valve loses, and as a result their fans rally around Bioware. It's not a Nintendo, Capcom, or Bethesda win, but they deserve it more than any of the other finalists.
Valve represents digital distribution. Down with digital distribution!

No, this is the Escapist!! *kicks*

Oh, sorry. Didn't see the pit behind you. You're not mad, right?

 

[TimeLord]

So stop crying about it. Like, now.

I see no-one crying....

It is never inevitable until it has actually happened

 

[Johkmil]

The madness also comes through as a general decay in forum quality. A host of One-post zyngaists and a zealous band of Escapist fanboys clashing in an all-consuming flamewar, the hate threatening to bring the level of discussion down to *shudders* Facebook or Youtube levels.

I just took a wild guess to be honest. I never went the Forum Games excluding when a topic was moved there.

Its one of the only places threads can get really large

MADNESS!? THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!?

OT: yup absolutely ridiculous. A maker of silly facebook games is beating the often considered best game developer ever and the forums are overrun. Valve should put a message in a "Steam update news" thing. Thats like a potential 10 million+ voters right there imagine the traffic we would get then lol

 

[Sleekgiant]

I believe every user has seen it at least once if they were here over Christmas.

Me and Furb make sure to revive it every couple of days

You should check out the the thread right now. Because Steam did just that and now waves of Vale fans are rushing in.

 

[Phenakist]

If they ran a filter to votes by users that haven't signed up before mid-late February they'd see all the votes for Valve still there and none for Zynga.
