Because I like Minecraft more than any game I've played from the developers it's come up against so far. It won't be until Mojang comes up against Valve that I'll be voting against them.

I like playing Minecraft more than playing any Nintendo game, any Namco Bandai game, or any Epic game.

I did vote for Obsidian, since I like playing Obsidian's games more.

It's not exactly rocket science. I don't see why people are getting so worked up about it at all.

Well, I think the reason they got this far is obvious: Minecraft. Whether or not a group of people on the forums don't like it.. a lot of people love it(myself included). It's one of the most popular games around right now, it took the internet media by storm and now everyone has at least heard of it. Whether or nt it's a good game, it's a popular game.

Early on in the competition I had to chose between Nintendo and Mojang. When I really thought about it, everything that Nintendo has released that hasn't be a rehash of their franchise characters lately has been quite boring. All they've given us is wii shovelware, more franchise revival and a bunch of third party games published with gimmicky wii controls. I used to love Nintendo, back when the Gamecube was current gen. At that point I would have voted for them without even thinking about it, but this time I chose Mojang. Minecraft has taken up hours upon hours of my life, and I've enjoyed those hours immensely, all because of a very simple idea for a game.

I voted for them because I've been enjoying minecraft more than anything else for the last month or so.

I love Minecraft, that's why. Plus I haven't played as much New Vegas as I have Minecraft.
I have also never really been a big Nintendo fan... this is pretty much the same for all the match ups so far.

If Valve win though and they face Mojang, I know who I will be voting for :) (clue: It's not Mojang)

I didn't vote for them, in my bracket they were out in the first round.

I vote for devs on the basis of the games they have made.

Mojang made Minecraft. I like Minecraft better then I like the games made by the developers that Mojang have been matched up with.

Therefore I voted for Mojang.

It's really rather simple.

You forgot an option in the poll.

I voted for Mojang because this whole competition relies on voter's opinions. There is no skill like there is in basketball. I voted for Mojang because I knew that people here liked them a ton and that I would get, basically, free points from them.

I'm in this to win the prizes, not to vote for my favorites.
Yeah, I did the opposite and voted for the ones I liked. My final bracket came down to Ubisoft and Harmonix.

Stupid, stupid me.

So why are people replying to this thread saying "I didn't vote for them" when the title specifically asks why you voted for them. >_>

Where's "I fucking loved minecraft and it was the game I played non-stop for most of 2010"?

Why did you sniff paint? What was that? You didn't? Why did you answer when I specifically asked why you sniffed paint.

Get the idea? Not everyone voted for Mojang, but they should still be allowed to voice their reasons for not voting for them.

I voted for them round 1 because Nintendo has been pretty disappointing lately. Then I stopped voting, because I missed the fill-out-your-own-bracket thing, so who cares? Not gonna get any points, badges, or whatever.

I voted for them up until the end for them to defeated by valve :D and I did so becuase I liked the idea of an indie dev getting that far

I can't believe how close to the actual results I got though

Well this may sound weird, but I only really voted for them because I didn't really give a crap about the enemies or Minecraft to be honest. Nintendo has only really ever made Mario appeal to me and the rest is gobshite, and Mario has been milked beyond recognition. And as for gearbox I like Gears and all, but you are basically a man with the resilience of a fridge taking cover behind chest high walls against armored insect-dinosaur people, and although it is satisfying it is not actually that innovative. And then there is Mojang, I cannot actually play Minecraft, it laggs out my computer unless i'm half a kilometer below the surface, but my mates seem to enjoy it and I can see the potential. If it went up against, say, Bethesda then I would vote for the one I like, but i'm just with my friends really :p

I voted for them because it is the MM showdown for 2011, not all time. Nothing any of the developers Mojang has gone up against has taken more hours out of my life than Minecraft has.

I still have developers like Valve in my bracket though, simply for the score.
