March Mayhem Top 64 Announced

[Small Waves]

>Zynga

Very funny, but we all know this is a joke since nobody would seriously them on this list since most of us now know that code thieves have no place alongside battle-hardened pioneers like Nintendo, Blizzard, and Valve. Who is the actual 64th developer?

 

[GiantRaven]

How does/did the selection process work?

 

[bulldogftw]

Go valve!, go valve!, go valve!

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Mojang is on there? FUCK YEAH!

But Zynga makes a return? That is totally sad-face worthy.

 

[Tim_Buoy]

tough choices this year i dearly love a lot of these developers but only one developer has given me a game that i wont easilly get bored of and i can loose large tracks of time in
MOJANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! minecraft all the way
(and on a side note i hate zynga right now

 

[Spinwhiz]

How does/did the selection process work?

We have an in-house team work on it with a handful of different variables.

 

[Spinwhiz]

For those of you upset about Zynga, you have a vote and a tweet. Use them to your advantage.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Can you at least diminish...

A. The complaints if Valve, Bioware, Blizzard and (at some extent) Square Enix gets eliminated. (They are the most vocals ones.)
B. Flamewars.
C. Trolls (Yes, they do appear mostly during this time of year).

 

[Outcast107]

Go relic!

 

[AvsJoe]

I can't wait for the Mayhem to begin. I don't know who I'm going to root for with Atlus gone, but I am rooting for as exiting a March as last year.

A) Hard to say. There are always people who take March Mayhem just a bit too seriously.

B) Yes, most definitely. We have very easy-to-follow rules this year. Those who don't follow them are gone.

C) See B.

Oh god not Zynga again that makes me sad-face.

Well Bioware will be getting my votes again this year. There's a lot of great developers on there this year. Looking forward to it.

 

[Souplex]

Valve again? So much for any notions of respectability.

 

[dakorok]

Zynga? Goddamn it, KILL IT WITH FIRE, PEOPLE.

Looking forward to see how this will play out.
I hope I don't have to choose between Valve, Blizzard, or Mojang, though. That would be a rather traumatic experience for me.

 

[Snork Maiden]

GOOOOOOO TEEEEEAAAMMMM MEAT!

Although I absolutely need backups for if (or when ) they get knocked out. Now taking bribes.

 

[Spinwhiz]

Not Zynga again! That's it, this time we kill it with fire!

[HEADING=1]GO VALVE![/HEADING]

Just whack 'em in with Valve a the starting gates - then they won't even have time to rally the Facebookers

Oh, and I'd like to make something MONUMENTALLY clear.

I'm even going to invisi-quote Spinwhiz for this.Bethesda is not a Developer.

Bethesda Softworks is a publisher. Bethesda Game Studios is a Dev.

This is a list of all the games they've published:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethesda_Game_Studios

So many people get that wrong. It's even worse when they think ZeniMax-owned companies are partially influenced by BGS... :S

But yeah, that's such a common misconception it's worth putting in the OP of all their matchups.

Correct and will be noted in the write-up section. Unfortunately, the whole name doesn't fit within a bracket.

I fixed it for you, nyek nyek nyek.

We've been over this:
Zynga is an ass pimple: Unpleasant, but harmless.
Valve is a cancer: A part of the body that has become corrupt and is killing it from within. You might not even realize what's happening until it's too late.

You know what? I'll be straight with you: I'm hopped up on caffine abd bubblgum and right now I'm PO'd over the Xbox version of HL2, so I'm more than willing to hear what you have to say on the matter. If you have a moment, would you like to spell out your feelings on Valve, and why exactly they suck so much? I'm serious--I'd really love to hear what you have to say.
