It's also an annual list aparently so you would guess it's focused on the last year.
But then they have devs like id who rereleased Doom3 and a Rage DLC last year after the dissapointing RAGE on the list. Rank Bungie over 343 even tho Bungie hasn't released anything since Reach in 2010 and we know little about what they are working on. Play Dead who's claim to fame is the neat but not minblowing 2+ year old LIMBO. Plus odd inclusions like Codemasters despite them being a publisher with 3 seperate internal studios that go by the name Codemasters, But the multistudio Rockstar is limited to one studio which hasn't released a game themselves since 2009 (tho they helped other rockstar studios on Red Dead and Max Payne 3 other studios took the lead on those) . Relic who despite being a great developer hasn't released anything of note since 2009's Dawn of War II.
Then exclude devs like CDProjekt RED who's approach to game development and community "management, with tonnes of free post release content etc is pretty damn amazing and they have 2 big projects comming up. Leave off Subset Games the developers of last years innovative and highly regarded FTL. And they also leave off Torn Banner developers of the inovative first person multiplayer melee focused game Chivalry: MW.
