Last friday i bought Shogun Total War: 2. I was a little upset that I had to download it using steam, because in my experience steam is ****. Seventeen hour download, I ran the game. There was no video, So I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it for another seventeen hours. Still no video. I go back to game stop to turn it in; "Sorry no refunds on computer games." Thanks Valve.
Well, sorry if you're new with steam, you could have "Verified" game cache integrity, that may have been able to fix some of the problems. By the way, when did you download Shogun total war 2?
If it was on release day, then you should expect lots of downloads to be going on, also, what are you MBPS? You also have to factor in what server you were downloading from, was it the one in india? Or the one in new york? That can also cause low download speeds, also, if you don't specify you're average MBPS download rate then that could ALSO cause slow download rates.
Also, you should read the rules before downloading a game, I got borderlands from gamestop online I bought the DLC via the 2kgames website, I bought 'em, both of them 10 bucks, can't use them and I can't get a refund for them, tough luck for me.
THEN, I emailed gamestop to give me a refund for the game, they said the transfer when through, still, to this day I don't have the money in my account.
I WISH I had bought borderlands on steam, cause I could have gotten it off MANY times.
Don't tell me those things are a pain in the ass to do (not counting my little dilemma). Those things are INCREDIBLY easy to do, especially the things with steam, you can do ALL those things very easily, don't lower your opinion of steam because of user error, not that you didn't do those things, tell me if you did, there ARE problems with steam, steam IS NOT PERFECT, but I use it, and I like it.
Also, the little server thing (The ones with india and new york) there are many servers, I just used those as an example.
I don't even know why minecraft is a viable contender?
If minecraft IS a viable contender then I wonder wouldn't Half life 2 Episode 3 would also count in the games made by Valve?
If so then I believe it totally deserves to win, if not then still it totally deserves to win because mojang has not released any game.
I vote for Valve as well. Minecraft is my favorite game, but Valve redefined video games on the computer. Plus, like everyone else said, Minecraft isn't even finished. Mojang has really accomplished nothing other than laying out the framework for what is going to become the best game ever when it is completely finished. But still, voting for Valve.
darn, i cant believe mojang got this far, and that... makes me a little sad,
these types of things things are usually run as "who haves more fanboys right now"
as i see, mojang stands as that.
even if this was a 2010 competition,
take the fact minecraft was released (as the first public build) around 10 may of the year 2009, not 2010, either way,
I would still vote for valve, I love their games, and it is not actually fair,
to be beaten from a company that hasnt completed any game, any commercial game yet,
I cant believe it, and I will actually lose respect from everyone who voted from mojang if mojang wins,
you can show me your points about why mojang should win over valve, if you want, but make them valid, not "beecuz miendkrak is kewl"
that is my point of view,
my opinion.
Valve is a better company. I voted for them. I love minecraft, but I love TF2 more. I also love portal, counterstrike, and the Half life series. So.... yeah. Valve for the win.
Go team Valve.
:biggrin.gif: finally some one not disrespecting valve I've been playing there games since 2001 i only gotten into minecraft recently cause a friend recommended it but i still love playing hl2 and css

No matter how right you think you are there will always be some one standing by to correct you.
Valve better win, this is absolutely out of control.
It's amazing what an army of fanboys can achieve. I didn't vote for Mojang because the only thing they've released so far is a promising BETA with questionable customer service and what's turning into a drag-ass attitude. And because I'm sane.
Why the **** is anyone voting for Valve? What have they put out in the last year that can compare to Minecraft? Nothing. The competition is about the best developer of the past year, not of all time. PLEASE VOTE FOR MINECRAFT ALL THE WAY!
Notch will ban your account and all future accounts of yours if you don't, btw.
LMFAO
Sorry, but I cant even belive than this is a Minecraft fanboy, more like a troll

I don't think he's trolling. I think for once someone is speaking common sense.
Both companies have made one game this year.
Alien Swarm sucked. Minecraft? We can leave it at that.

color=#FF0000]PS: This is a poll based on 2010. Valve really hasn't done much for 2010 besides Alien Swarm. It's Alien Swarm vs Minecraft in short terms[/color]

Really? Mojang made a game this year?
^^ This. x10. I think he's conveniently overlooking it.
Know what's funny? When people point out something wrong with the game fanboys are the first one to shout "It's a BETA you idiot!" However, when it's time for praise they conveniently forget that it's a beta and not a finished product. Call me crazy, but I don't think Mojang deserves **** for an unfinished work. It's like me winning a grammy for a song I'm working on, but I've only got ten seconds of it done.

It IS a released game, is it not? Does it cost money? Is it out to the public? I'm not a fanboy, I'm simply not a fan of Alien Swarm. I personally adore CSS, but considering thats not exactly 2010, I'm going with Mojang. Besides, winning might put Minecraft out of the "stupid little lego game" title it has.
PS: I'm getting tired of "valve time" too. If we're going to compare companies, Valve is far more dissapointing than Notch Mojang.

You could put it the other way around. In Bump's perspective, it could be "He's trolling because he's NOT on your side lawl."
