I have to say it is a shame, that a dev with basically one great game and an OKish game series, that has existed for less than 20 years and had no major impact on the industry so far wins against a titan like SquareEnix. I have doubts how serious I can take this tournament now. SquareEnix has majorly formed the gaming industry. Guerilla Games probably wouldn't exist without Square or if they did, their games would look different (and probably less appealing). Yeah, I get how some people are burned out with the attention Nintendo gets, but really, putting Guerilla Games over Square is ridiculous.

Well, whatever, this was my rant. It wasn't critic directed at you Machina, thanks for organizing these polls and the work you put in. It's not your fault. I just wanted to vent my lack of comprehension towards this voting result. Moving on now.

This round is very interesting. All of these devs have done great work, it is hard to put an order onto them.

Around the Network

Sad to see Square Enix gone. Not many of my favourite developers around anymore. This round my vote goes to Naughty Dog. They've been great since the PS1 era, and made some of the best games on Sony's consoles.



Voted for Santa Monica Studio but could have gone with Naughty Dog as well.



Signature goes here!

Jesus. All of these studios are awesome. So hard to choose!



This is a tough one for me. A bunch of solid mid-level studios, each with a handful of great games. I guess I’ll go Monolith as it’s the only studio listed with a game in my top 10.



Around the Network

Monolith obviously



Voted for Platinum. I've enjoyed everything they produced so far. And with Nier Automata being my personal game of the generation tied with Persona 5, the choice is obvious.



 

Inb4 "I voted for the obvious one."

Woops, no I'm not.



Gotta be CDPR for me. Nothing but respect for them



How did Guerrilla beat Rockstar & Square?! Seems like there is a lot Sony and Nintendo fanboy voters here. What about 3rd party?
