The Escapist March Mayhem Poll

[Pandalink]

So hey guys, there is a poll here:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/global/tournaments/standings/2-2010-March-Mayhem-Developers-Showdown

It looks all fine and dandy, however it does seem that Zynga ("famous" for such games facebook-apps as Mafia Wars and Farmville) have defeated NCSoft (Aion), Infinity Ward (CoD1,2,4,6) and Rockstar North (GTA anyone?). They are also about to defeat Square Enix (Final Fantasy).
This is entirely due to them totally spamming the living hell out of facebook users to go "vote for zynga! B::".

There is however still a potential margin for victory, since there are several twitter votes that are added at the end that Square Enix has in their favour.
Go vote, and even if zynga win this round, vote for Valve in the semifinal.
Go!

How the fuck is this fair at all? You can only vote if you have a Facebook account in which Zynga, or whatever the hell it's called, operates on.

lol fuck this shit, how did zynga make it this far?

[Grovyle]

Seriously?!!!
Valve is one of the greatest game companies I know, same with Square(Enix), Rockstar Games. IW can go fix MW2 for once.
Now some Browser game company is WINNING AGAINST VALVE, a company that developed HALF LIFE, WHICH HAD LIKE 50 AWARDS?!!!! That also developed the game that WAS the #1 IN ONLINE FPS?! (Counter-Strike)

Well, to be honest, it may be because ZYNGA'S GAMES ARE FREE (and acceptable if you ask me), so there are more fans for them...
This is some grave bullshit. It's the APOCALYPSE for the video-game nerd world!!

My final thoughts:

And:

[Pandalink]

lol f**k this shit, how did zynga make it this far?

Every time the game developer against them begins to pull ahead, they spam the shit out of either farmville or mafia wars. Whenever they do, the Escapist goes down for about 3 minutes and zynga's votes have magically increased in the hundreds.

This is fucking retarded.
