I enjoyed that up until the point I actually looked at the Escapist forums and saw how badly Valve was losing. This is a horrible state of affairs!

If so...Bioware is our only hope.

They have 20000, were not even close too that, wed have too get people who lost too Zynga too help us, along with Blizzard

And there's a lot more of those guys than Zynga's guys.

Very true, but will they be spitfull enough too help us?

This is so...upsetting. Zynga should not be a part of this contest. Zynga may have games, but it might as well be a completely different medium (oh wait, plugins/facebook apps--it is pretty much a different medium) because every other video game developer (like our beloved Bioware) attracts a rather specific gamer a.k.a. 'hard-core gamers.' The Zynga games attract (surprise)...facebook people...a.k.a. the casual/social gamer. Why? Because it is 1) FREE and 2) another way in which they can continue to web surf and click (i.e., facebook) for hours on end. In other words, facebook ~= Zynga.

Most people do not play games (non-gamers), which is why the free, simple games are appealing to them. Combine that with the internationally successful facebook and it's more than ridiculous. Have Zynga compete against other online app. developers--not against companies that require you to:

a) like a specific type/kind of gaming or gaming at all
B) PAY for your games.
c) PAY for a console/PC/controllers/etc.
d) either be willing to learn or use that noggin' in a relatively demanding capacity (RTSs, RPGs, etc) and/or have good enough hand/eye (hand/mouse/whatever) coordination (FPSs, etc).
e) spend a certain amount of time to finish said game.

The demands are ridiculously higher for the hard-core gamer, not to mention that it is less marketable to..the world as a whole...

These are just a few reasons why Zynga should not be a part of this contest. They're too different and if Bioware or Blizzard loses to Zynga in the next round (because it is pretty much a lost cause now), I...I...

Okay, I can't really do anything about it, but I can hate The Escapist. Forever. For making such a huge error in the first place.

"Dear Valve

We at BioWare are sorry to hear about your loss too Zynga. We had hoped too face you in the finals.

But now we need your help. Zynga may have beaten you, but you can still help strike back and defeat those Facebook fanatics. Help us Valve.

Death too Zynga

BioWare"

Sounds good to me. I'd make another song, but I don't think Bioware has any exploitable songs like Still Alive :(

This. There's still hope. We'll have the collective voices of Valve and Blizzard voters to boost our totals. We'd have to spread the word to other websites as well. I'm not part of a lot of communities outside this one, but if I can help, I will.

You could always have a good speech over one of the songs from ME2. Like The Normandy Reborn

Interesting idea for a "contest", I wonder if Blizzard could even find their keyboards to vote around their MOUNTAINS OF CASH.

Seriously Blizzard makes more money in studio than EA makes total.

If BioWare wins..:



The battlecry for BioWare in the Escapist poll:



Aye, vote and you may lose. Don't, and you'll live... at least a while. And reading your news feed, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL those Farmville updates, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our News Feed and polls, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!



In the Year of our Lord 2010, patriots of BioWare - starving and outnumbered - charged the fields of theEscapist. They fought like gaming poets; they fought like Gamers, and won their freedom.

Heh. The battle of Valve vs. Zynga seems to have created ultimate carnage on the Escapist's forum because I can't even view the score now.
