I totally called Valve, Mojang, and Nintendo being the top three. Someone gimme a prize.

I'm also really glad Double Fine made the list.

I've never heard of some of the top ones. Valve is pretty good, though. Not sure if I'd say they beat Nintendo (I guess it's really more of a "at this point in time" thing), and Mojang only has one "finished" game. Even though Minecraft is very popular, I don't really think they deserve to be in the top 3, unless this list isn't solely based on the games they made.

 

[RickeNater]

I agree with this list.

I don't think its fair to include Mojang, for the single finished game reason. Miecraft is a great game, but not enough to make a good judgment of the developer.

 

[CM30]

I don't think including Jagex on the list is particularly good either. I mean, yeah they made Runescape. And they might have some interesting games planned, but most of their other work is generally either mediocre, unpopular or both. One good game does not a 'best developer' make.

Which is also why I disagree with Mojang. Minecraft is good, but they need to show they're more than a one trick pony.
