Valve will win because this is a majority PC gaming forum, and Steam is the patron god of value among the people here.

Did they release a game recently? No. Will it matter? No.
Someone has a big chip on their shoulder and I don't see why I have to keep bringing this up but a survey done on this site a couple of years had the console/PC split at 49%/51% in favour of PC. That is hardly a bias. It also does not take into account people coming here who are not usually members and voting something a lot of people seem to quickly forget. However, it is quite normal to see a shift of more people playing on console at the start of a console gen as it easier but towards the end the opposite happens.

If this was a majority PC forum you'd think you would stop seeing many misconceptions about PC gaming crop up so often but you do.

I know I've been guilty of this thinking myself but more than regulars come to vote in this massive Vs thread and nor do we own this Vs thread.

Zynga. Just to piss everyone off again.
I just want their topics to not show up in the Latest Posts segment on the front page or side bar. No one gives a fuck what anyone in those threads has to say.

This site has an internet wide notoriety of being heavily PC biased. Many of the voters for the console/PC vote didn't register. They came for Yahtzee, saw the poll and voted, and moved on. You need to register to vote for the tourney. Because of that, people who stay (majority PC) will swing the votes.
No you just need a Facebook account and then link the profiles. It is fair to say most people have Facebook so it is not a Herculean task by any stretch. Then given how far Zynga got a few years ago(I feel like I'm using a Hitler/Nazi comparison with this), I think it is fair to say it does have an impact on the number of votes.

I hope I don't banned for this as it is not my opinion but this is the negative opinion of this site that we have "notoriety" for. This site doesn't have notoriety of being heavy PC it has notoriety for being full of Bioware, Valve fanboys and elitist pricks who are up their own arse in general if you want to go with the general negative image of this site. Only of those things is exclusively PC. Oh I forgot the misanthropic, angsty teens.

That is general opinion of some people off this site PC central is something I've never heard. I've heard much worse than what I've mentioned but never a PC biased community.

I mean going by user groups assuming no overlap there are only 80 more PC gamers than 360 gamers hardly something I'd call a massive bias. That's not including the 300 odd PS 3 gamers and the 60 or so Wii players.
