Nooooo, LucasArts!! How could you let them down? :(

This round doesn't have that many interesting teams, in my opinion. I'll pick Next Level Games, if only because I miss Super Mario Strikers so much.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

Playground Games easily. Best developer of this gen.

And the people voting next level are joking, right?

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

No contest here. FromSoftware is easily the best from that list. In just the last decade the studio has made four games that are in my personal top 20 of all time. Easy choice.

Gonna go Creative Assembly. I really enjoy the Total War games.

Bet Shiken that COD would outsell Battlefield in 2018. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8749702

Voted for Obsidian, but only because Lionhead is dead now.
