Valve on the top of this list is a cop out. Half Life 2 being name game of the decade was a cop out.

Its the answer that pisses off the least amount of internet nerds.

Valve in recent years:

HL2: Episodes 1 and 2
L4D1-2
Portal 1-2
Team Fortress 2
CS: GO
Dota 2
Continue to make Steam a great service 

I honestly can't think of a developer that has made that many enjoyable and well received games in the past years. They've not even once made a flop.

No need to bring a completely different list into this. 

1. Yeah... those games are fine. But would I consider those games better than what Nintendo EAD offers? Fuck no.

2. Also, I think it makes more sense to compare Valve to other companies. Not just individual studios. That means MS, Sony, or EA could be higher on that list if all their studios just shared a name.

1. "Fine"...sure. And yet you're not a big Nintendo enthusiast it seems (based on your posts and your game collection). Why do you consider them better if they clearly don't entice you enough to buy them?

2. No, that's not fair at all, since Valve is a very small company compared to those.

1. I own a lot of games I don't put on that list. That includes Nintendo games on Wii, DS, and 3DS. I'm not a big Nintendo enthuiast per se and you don't have to be feel they put out better games than Valve.

2. Ohhhh... so its more about size than games? Gotcha. Because that's what consumers care about in the long run. The size of the studio.
