Don't you mean they? As far as I know I am not an employee or shareholder of Mojang and I'm not 100% sure but I'll wager you aren't affiliated with them past owning the game.
Let Mojang put forward the effort of beating them.
You mean have just the Mojang developers voting against the Bioware developers? That doesn't sound like a particularly useful contest.
Or do you mean the effort of requesting votes on Twitter? :tongue.gif:
This isn't a contest based on what developers have done, or are doing. It's a contest based on who votes for whom. So all the argumentation is pretty pointless really as people will vote for whoever they vote for whether others think they have a valid reason or not.
It's not like anyone thinks that Mojang is better because they are 'winning'.

Found this nifty post in the Escapist forum thread:

I posted this on the Valve/Mojang thread, but I'll post it here again.
This contest is not about the legacy of a company. Due to the fact that it is public vote, it is based on the popularity, or fan base of the company. Many people (including myself) fell in love with Minecraft when we discovered it. Because of this, Mojang has quite the fan-base.
If this contest was about legacy, there would be no public voting. There couldn't be. It would have to be a few people locked in a dark room for a couple days discussing why each company may deserve it. Once a winner was decided, it would be quite hard to take down a legacy.
Why can't you guys just have a light heart about this. This means nothing about the quality of the games. Just the current popularity. Mojang is very popular right now, thus it gets a lot of votes. It's life.
Also, personally, I love to see upsets in tournaments of any kind (TSL3 anyone?), and such major ones as this are no exception.
This is all I've got to say... so just live with it.
I just posted on the Mass Effect forums a little, to help raise awareness and maybe make this a bit more even.
Hoards of Talimancers vs. Creepers! Now what?

I know it's a online poll, I was questioning the title. "Can we beat Bioware", who's the we? Becasue it certainly isn't Mojang.
They're good with the humour timing, I'll give them that. Or at least I hope they are.
Oh wow!
Quick, crosspost this to The Escapist marchmayhem thread where people keep saying that Mojang is Zygna. Epic lols!
[edit] speaking of crossposting, here's a good post from their thread:

Okay, seriously this is getting silly with all the nerdrage that is going on here. Basically it boils down to this
WHY PEOPLE VOTE FOR MOJANG:
-Simple Game with Amazingly high replay value
-Small Dev Team focused on giving an amazing experience
-A game that is highly enjoyable even in Alpha/Beta
-Selling Minecraft for Cheap
-Encourages Modding and Experimentation with their game
-Indie Developer with a bright future
WHY PEOPLE VOTE FOR BIOWARE:
-History of amazingly deep and innovative games
-Large Dev Team focused on Quality of their games
-Games that focus on letting you craft the story
-Company listens to their fan base and tweaks upcoming games based on feedback
-Tries new things while trying to stick to what made their old games good
WHY PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST MOJANG:
-Developer that hasn't technically released a final product
-Minecraft has bad graphics
-Minecraft has no story or reason behind the game
-Minecraft hasn't changed much in the past few months
WHY PEOPLE VOTE AGAINST BIOWARE:
-Annoying things such as First Day DLC
-Streamlining their RPG Elements in games
-Recent games that did not meet standards
-Rehashing stories and using cliches
Now I'd like to say that ALL OF THESE ARE VALID REASONS! Stop pissing on each other and just accept the fact that some people hold some of these traits in a higher regard then you might. Some people DON'T care that Minecraft graphics are crap. Some people DON'T care that Bioware is Streamlining RPG Elements in recent titles. Everyone has different standards and different wants in their games. Some of it is fanboyism, some of it is illogical, and some of it is butt-hurt Valve supporters. But MOST of it is just people weighing the pros and cons of the games made over the past year and the direction that each company is taking. Just because you don't have the same view doesn't mean that their view isn't valid.

The confuzzling thing about this contest is, if it's only a popularity contest, why is Zynga not winning?
Well actually it's not confusing, but you see my point

BETA
"When we release a pure bugfix update, people get VERY upset ("NOTHING CHANGED!").. Adding features gives us much happier users. But I do realize that it's only happier users in the short term." - Notch
**** Bioware and their dating simulators. They released costly DLC the very ****ing day they released the game itself. That's ten times worse than ripping off content from a game and then selling it later. God damn I hate that company.

Yeah, it is annoying when developers use weaselly marketing techniques to proliferate their games and profits, isn't it?

Mojang is lead by gamer(s). Bioware Corp is lead by old business men in suits discussing about investments and maximising profit. They don't care about the games themselves but the money they make. They have said that they wanted to get DA2 out fast to maximise the profit of Dragon Age Origins. Those words clearly did not come from the mouth of a gamer.

You cheer for Kotick too, dontcha?
Mojang is lead by gamers with financial and legal representatives. Regardless of what you may think, Mojang is a company that makes profit. Therefore, they must be BUSINESS MEN!
Sorry, just used your logic is all. When Mojang has the financial responsibilities those companies had, I'm sure we'd see the same BS pulled on this side. I already predicted it since they've already come out and said people who bought in Beta would probably have to pay again to continue to play. Why? Because they'd need more money since they've already gotten a majority of their customers.
So, I will pull this card out when that does happen. Notch already shows great potential in swimming in everyones money. Not that he already doesn't, the only thing he can update frequently is his twitter ! (Zing!)
