Valve vs Zynga - developer showdown

[eyefork]

This is way too much fun.

Some idiot said we should turn to 4chan to help Valve win. I'll bet he did that, now look:
Zynga - 53.6% (20455)
Valve - 46.4% (17672)

EDIT: Wait... Valve has gained more votes than Zynga since the last report in the thread. Sign of a victory from behind?

The score is still the same as a half hour ago and the Vote button is gone from the page. It looks like they might have ended the contest a day sooner than advertised.

Zynga 53.6% (20455)
Valve 46.4% (17672)

I'm not sure what this means for gaming, if anything. I sure hope that publishers do not read too much into these scores.

It looks like voting has resumed

Zynga 53.6% (20462)
Valve 46.4% (17723)

 

[Guyovick]

Zynga 51.2% (21121)
Valve 48.8% (20162)

It looks like the second wave of the Steam Army has arrived:


We're sorry but the current forum traffic is overloading the thread display hamsters. Your posts and votes will still be recorded, but may not be immediately visible. Please do not spam the thread in an effort to view it, it will only make things slower. In the meantime, consider the walrus.

3 hours later and still the same message. :/

EDIT: WE HAVE GAINED THE LEAD!

Zynga - 49.3% (21360)
Valve - 50.7% (21927)

Fun Fact: We're at even more of a lead.

It looks like it's going to be Valve and Bioware in the last round.

I'm honestly a little disappointed that Valve pulled ahead. It was much more fun to mess with everyone's head.

Easter Miracle.

I don't think we have much to worry about when it comes to twitter. The first post says that in the previous polls only 2% tweeted and I don't think many Zynga fans were doing much besides voting and then posting "ZYNGA!"

Why can't I seem to find the current standing? Only the brackets.

Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four: (7) Zynga vs. (1) Valve - VOTING CLOSED - PLEASE STAY TUNED
Zynga 46.7% (22470)
Valve 53.3% (25677)


I think they have to count the twitter votes now. Keep your fingers crossed.

A vote for Zynga is a vote for social depression.

Joysticks are obviously better than mice when it comes to moving the pointer around while playing browser games

Next round is blizzard. I don't think valve is going to beat blizzard's zombified players.
