nope, I voted already more than a week ago :P

Seriously, i love ETQW, but it require a mini update removing map-bugs and removal of statpadders to convince me voting. In the current unattended state it cannot possibly be considered a game of the year. Well, say thanks to Activision

LighT_Sh4v0r · 05-19-2009, 05:10 PM

The game won't make it. Won't even get close. If you look at the popularity of other games in the list, how is ETQW ever going to get enough votes.
Good to know it's at least nominated though, means at least some people consider the game to be good, like it should be.

Seanza · 05-19-2009, 05:55 PM

April fools was like... 6 weeks ago. Nice one.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. That's how the saying goes....

PytoX · 05-19-2009, 06:00 PM

I already vote like one month ago for this

jadnik · 05-20-2009, 10:54 AM

hi, i was voted today.

appleseed · 05-20-2009, 10:57 AM

Wont vote, this game is OK but too much darkpoints (once again not sd fault, but ranked servers + bad netcode = phail!)

Ranked = 1% of the community play on custom maps
bad netcode = I have to shoot 5 feet ahead of anything to actually hit it

Peace

zivs · 05-21-2009, 12:49 PM

I will be really surprised if ETQW will take atleast one of nominations (or get even close to first places)!

Also, if that happens - can we then expect a "thank you" for voting from SD looking like a patch fixing existing map bugs and maybe some new stock ones? :P

Stroggafier · 05-21-2009, 01:26 PM

Voted

Which way do you think SD is more likely to give ETQW some attention: If it wins the Golden Joystick or if it doesn't even place?

Place your bet, err...I mean vote.

Succumb · 05-22-2009, 12:11 AM

Updates, then I vote.

Fair?

Whether or not there are updates isn't up to Splash Damage, so no, it's not really fair.

Szakalot · 05-22-2009, 10:34 AM

well, some of the votes are for the game, not SD; so i find Succumbs approach logical.
It would be odd if he restrained his vote for the best developer, just for the lack of updates.

Verticae · 05-22-2009, 02:40 PM

SD is easily among the top PC developers I know, simply because of the effort they put into keeping in touch with the community. These forums, the SD v all games, you name it; it's a wonderful bunch of code-addicts.

murka10 · 05-22-2009, 03:08 PM

Was a tough decision to choose between etqw and some other games just because etqw didn't get to shine for various reasons but SD as the best dev was the easiest choice.

zivs · 05-24-2009, 10:03 PM

We don't give a damn if it's Splash Damage or Squash Damage - 1) updates 2) new maps 3) love

Dot.
