Vote for Valve, don't let evil minecraft win. - Games

[QUOTE=Psycho_Shadow;28882176]Not only did he get the date released wrong, he judged valve because "they didn't release any new games". I can tell you what they did in 2010, the made Steam compatible for the Mac, which was a pretty big thing for people having to use Boot Camp to run steam all the time.[/QUOTE] You realize that Alpha is essentially the release of Minecraft. Classic was way different. And yes, it's a big thing, and yes, it makes sense that you might think that's worthy of a vote, but don't be such an arrogant ass if someone thinks differently.

[QUOTE=Chilean;28881773]lol the minecraft thread is all like "what a good competition" and over here you're all "OMFG VALVE MUST WIN FUCK MOJANG"[/QUOTE] The Escapist does not hold "good competitions." The fact that they've let a very weak developer get a serious chance at winning competition for two years in a row shows that it was poorly organized and the people running the contest really don't give a shit that their voter turnout is heavily imbalanced. I mean if Mojang beat Nintendo then the Minecraft forums must really be flooding the place with votes. Nintendo Fanboys aren't known for giving up on a contest easily.

I mean, I like Valve as much as the rest of you, but you're acting like fanboys, and that just makes us all look bad.

I'd take cartoonish characters blowing each other up, mind bending physics puzzles, an MIT grad saving the world, and mindless zombie shooting over stacking blocks, any day of the week.

Minecraft does in no way deserve all the attention it gets, and holy shit I know 2010 was a bad year for valve but what did notch do in 2010 apart from sit on some island drinking cocktail and hiring whores.

I really hate how the word "fanboys" has become so derogatory. Its like a some bullshit trump card that anyone can slap down to "win" an argument.

And not in a dickish way. But I suppose I didn't read through every page. And I'm sure the Minecraft forum is being retarded, but, come on, it's the Minecraft forum. They are to the Minecraft community what SPUF is to us.

I don't get what the big deal is with Minecraft. It doesn't really look all that interesting at all to me.

I would take a bullet for Valve...I really would.

[QUOTE=Chilean;28882252]I mean, I like Valve as much as the rest of you, but you're acting like fanboys, and that just makes us all look bad.[/QUOTE] We're fanboys. But not so retarded. On another note, where do you see the result of the poll?

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;28882327]I really hate how the word "fanboys" has become so derogatory.

I already know I'm going to get rained with boxes but I post anyway for some reason.

[QUOTE=Chilean;28882338]um every post on the Minecraft forum I saw was saying they were going to vote for Valve.

And I like how you criticise people for acting like fanboys when it's a competition. You can't support Manchester United because thats being a fanboy xD

If Mojang didn't have so much money behind it from Minecraft I'd expect it to have crashed and burned in less than a year. And I'd be there heating marshmallows over the burning. They honestly don't deserve to have got this far.

Valve doesnt only win in my opinion for their great games, but the tremendous amount of support they provide to modders.

You seem to be assuming thats what people are saying because they say something negative towards minecraft.

But it's obvious they spent plenty of time working on Portal 2. And development, something Notch hasn't devoted much time to as of late, is just as much a part of being a developer as releasing.

People in the Valve games and mods probably don't take much to any offence. As for the demotivational, I decided to replace my I h8 Justin Bieber Avatar with that. I looked through my computer and found it. Little thought to it.

I think this thread is so funny, and I like how we can have an actual [I]intelligent[/I] debate over this.

[QUOTE=edopi;28880060]maybe because minecraft is a game? anyways, i don't really think valve makes good games so i'll just vote for majang because i love minecraft.[/QUOTE] What are you, 12?

[QUOTE=killover;28882643]What are you, 12?[/QUOTE] No, 10. Trust me, not even a 12 year old can be that moronic unless he's downright mentally handicapped. [editline]29th March 2011[/editline] I gotta say, it's not very fair to get angry at MC's community. I might not be a MC fan but I could understand what it feels like to have the rest of the world see your favorite game's community as awful just because of some morons on a forum. I mean, look at SPUF! They're not exactly a great representative of us!

I think you should also look ahead into each companies 2011: Valve; Portal 2 Continued Updates for all of their games Source SDK overhaul Team Fortress 2 Updates (Meet the's included) Expansion of Steam to cloud gaming as well as network based stuff on TV's The possibility of different mediums hitting steam Steam on mobiles Steamworks on PS3, bringing console/pc gaming cross platforming Increased security for steam accounts Expansion of games catelogue Half Life 2 Episode 3 announcement (maybe) More source tools like Source Film Maker L4D2 Campaign updates. Mojang; Mincraft Updates Scrolls (which is also totally original).

I want to see Valve against Nintendo! Valve makes epic games but can anyone here deny that the Mario and Legend of Zelda series both have had [b]incredible[/b] games, such as Ocarina of Time and Super Mario Bros 3? (And let's not forget their popular Pokemon series, which is very popular worldwide)
