Because if they took Ubisoft as a whole they wouldn't be nominated at all, LOL!

As for people saying Nintendo only got nominated because of EAD, that's bullshit.

Retro Studios - Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Namco Bandai - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS

That just doesn't make sense.. How can 3 different developers win THE dev of the year? It's not publisher of the year. It's developer.

Then both EAD, Retro and Bamco should be nominated and we would see which of the 3 studios (and others) did best in 2014 imo.

Retro is Nintendo and Nintendo were heavily involved with Smash.
