Terrible fucking list. So many great studios missing from the list and some total trash in there instead. EDGE really is a shadow of its former self.
So they piss off the average gamer now in contrast to pissing off the average gamers in the past?

I'm surprised by the absence of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. They released two top games in 2012 and didn't make the cut?
What games were they? I thought they only released Yakuza 5 and Dead Souls last year.
"we're interested in technical and creative ability, and in studios that realise the most involving and stimulating game worlds, whether that's through visual, audio or game design." Imagination to bring new influences and themes to games, experiment with new ways of interacting, ingenuity in creating enthralling experiences, understand and engage with their audiences and have the vision to know where games are going next.Can someone who has the issue tell us the context in how Edge came up with the 50 devs.

Hey, I'm one of those 32 million. The fact that I don't know them says a lot.
Might as well put whoever made Angry Birds on the list.
That's about as abstract as it gets when it comes to objectively ranking something.
Platinum is way too high. Scoring high with reviews doesn't make your company succesfull.

What do you consider a good game? because yeah they have, plentyhave Valve ever made a good game? what a terrible list.

Yep, the carnival of stupid is in full force.Jesus these Edge threads always bring out the worst in people. How dare they value different things than me WAAAAAGHHHHH! Where's my favourite game developer WAAAAGHHHHH!
How can you objectively rank them outside sales and budget, or metacritic rankings?
Mediocre games at best.
No Grasshopper Manufacturer
happy to see no Obsidian. Fix your games first and then we will talk
You must be trolling...
I would have put Rockstar at the top.
What has Valve done for me lately? As a developer I mean.
Also, CD Projekt seems to be missing from the list.
EDGE could have and maybe should have given this just a little more thought to evoke a proper in-depth discussion, I suppose.
Wowww... And as much I love Platinum Games they don't deserve #4 specially not over Naughty Dog or Rockstar North.44. Sony Santa Monica
38. Ninja Theory
No, I'm not.
Mojang created 1 fucking game and they are #2...
ok there.

This is their office. Needless to say the working conditions seem superb.
And people complaining about Valve are really ignorant. The rolling desk concept and the lack of a hierarchy makes it on the most unique companies in the world, if we also factor in their major success.
They are the epitome of style over substance. Their games are real janky, I wouldn't call them great devs, in a technical, coding sense.No Grasshopper Manufacturer
Why would I care as a consumer that my iPod is made in a factory where the staff are killing themselves?Why would I, the consumer, care about their office or working conditions?
Only 4 japanese developers, or did I count wrong?

Nobody at Valve cares about Half Life right now, they're making dota and updating tf2/cs.Valve baffles me. I really don't get it.
They must have a building full of capable, creative people and they barely put out anything. Half Life isn't rocket science. It's not like there needs to be years of planning for a theme park FPS.

Peoples opinion differing on yours Don't make them ignorants.
Also I Don't give a fliying fuck about any developer working method, the only thing that matters to me is the final result of their work. And I've never find nothing special about Valve's games.
So if your office doesnt have leather couches and pooltables, you're working in a coal mine?This is their office. Needless to say the working conditions seem superb.
