Farmville is beating Valve at The Escapist - Games

[QUOTE=Stupideye;21135702]Valve doesn't care about this stupid poll and neither should you.[/QUOTE] They made Half Life 25 cents when Gordon was the ultimate game hero or whatever, so it's possible.

[QUOTE=Shadaez;21137081]They made Half Life 25 cents when Gordon was the ultimate game hero or whatever, so it's possible.[/QUOTE] yeah, on a much larger website and a kind of less shitty one

Remember to make twitter accounts and add your vote there too, they're not counted yet.

What is the current vote break-up?

It's shit. I voted for Valve and the cockvotecount didn't go up.

Redo the whole thing on like IGN, Zynga won't get very far!

lol escapist like that means anything

Every damn Zynga game: *[I]insert subject[/I]*[B] Wars [/B]*[I]insert subject[/I]* [B]Ville[/B]

[QUOTE=Mr MP;21116593]Probably 4chan's "lolrandom".[/QUOTE] Do you know what you're talking about boy? /v/ is just as mad at this shit as any other videogame community :clint:

What matters is that for them, it's important, it's not about we winning, it's about them loosing.

[QUOTE=Fusilero1;21138450]Well do you want dumb shits constantly messeging about a pointless and irrelevant contest that no one gives a fuck about except them[/QUOTE] Of course. Loyal fanbase that tells devs about every chance to show how their games are good? Free advertisement? Keeping huge Escapist community in love with Valve games? Hey, it's worth it. If you think that spam in mailbox is the problem, then I'm sorry, but this reason is dumb.

[QUOTE=Fusilero1;21138576]It doesn't make this entire response from the valve fans any less pathetic/fucking hilarious[/QUOTE] Hey, fans that are willing to waste their lifes, energy and time on PC arguing on the internet with so much rage - Even if they look so freaking dumb/pathetic, that means something. How about we both shut up because there is huge probality that we are both wrong, and then let's just go away in a sunset and harmony harmony oh love [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSMeUPFjQHc[/media]

I refuse to believe you are laughing your ass off and can't even breathe from laughing about this. That's my view of "fucking hilarious".

their poker game is good for passing the time but that is it. Fuck farmville

[QUOTE=Me0wmix;21112424]Are you fucking serious? [url]http://www.zynga.com/[/url] look how impressive that is![/QUOTE] Looks like it was made for 9 year olds. How zynga got so many votes and how people find it to be anywhere near better then valve is beyond me... Those shouldn't even be considered games ffs... But who cares about that. In the end, valve was, is and will always be a better developer.

I can't think of a single person I know that [i]doesn't[/i] use facebook. The majority of those people play these shitty flash games. Whether or not you want to admit it, PC gaming is a niche market.

Zynga has the advantage of facebook starting to be awfully famous (another fad imo) and since facebook is used by millions... Biased much? It's like going to McDonalds and asking an employee if their food is great, while in front of the boss.

the fact zynga was even placed on the list to begin with makes this shit more of a joke than it already was

If Zynga wins this round, then they will not win the contest. All the Valve fans will vote BioWare or Blizzard in round 6.

I honestly think BioWare should win it. For all it's worth.

What the [i]fuck?[/i] Who could possibly have more fun playing Farmville than playing Half-Life 2?

[QUOTE=Micr0;21140175]What the [i]fuck?[/i] Who could possibly have more fun playing Farmville than playing Half-Life 2?[/QUOTE] lol casuel gammers

It's quite obvious why Zynga is winning, first of all let me add that Zynga develop games for Facebook and voting on this contest can be done trough Facebook their by making it easier for their fans to vote then Valve fans. Also this is a "Gaming" contest which means that "Gamers" are supposed to vote yet about 1/2 of those who play Farmville aren't gamers they are people that use Facebook and play this flash game in their spare time. Also can you call yourself a gamer when you think playing a game about farming is better then Half-Life. Seriously if anyone came up to me and said that i'd laugh in their face so hard that i would probably not be able to talk for the rest of the day. I mean I'm playing a guy who is saving the Earth from an evil alien race the characters in my game is deep as well as the story. *Starts shooting hos way trough a horde of zombies* While the Farmville guys are like... I'm a farmer *Starts feeding his pigs* and i found a sad duck on my farm would you like to have it. I also lost all respect for The Escapist as a Gamer site.

Rigged.
