In first place: NGMOCO (Mainly because they canceled Rolando 3!!!) But in close second: Gameloft Everyone else thinks like me also, look at the poll results
I hate Tapulous for ignoring great music for mainstream garbage (I know - $$$) that's it. I like all the others as they have brought awesome games. I love Gameloft. It's become 'cool' to hate them, but I don't play follow the leader (which is probably why I get blasted a lot) Fishing Kings Is incredible and only 2.99 I also love about 10 other games they have. EA is greedy, but I am not in business with them so I only care so much (walmart is more of a danger to society) EA has brought great ones to the table as well. Tapulous is the one that I have no use for, especially after letting Crap eyed peas polute Riddim Ribbon exclusively with ear fesces
Damn straight! After thinking they'd given up trying to waste unknowing victims' money on crappy half-@$$ed "games," I saw a new waste of space on the app store the other day. DS Effects gets my vote!
On the other hand, my dislike of SEGA goes way back before iPhone... they can't seem to make a decent Sonic game... and yet they won't give up on the franchise and poop out a new failure every year.
I think i hate gameloft the most. I used to love them, and then like them (late 2009 where they actually churned out a few decent games) now i think they are rather lame. I dislike EA almost as much. Their games are crappy and not innovated. After nfs, i stayed away from them. As for ngmoco, I still like them, but if they keep churning out these crappy buggy games i might lose interest in them. Eliminate is the only game they developed that i actually like. We Rule is getting a bit frustrating with its connectivity issues. Touch pets was rather dull, and Godfinger looks like a copycat of pocket god.
I don't get it, NGMOCO is the proud winner of this POLL but I am sure alot of you guys plays their garbage laggy heartless givemeurmoneys games
Tapulous, just for them falling under the influence of 12 year old girls and creating Justin beiber tap tap
I was going to pick Sega for releasing their lazy ports and all, but I decided on Ngmoco, they way overdo the freemium stuff, even to the point of scrapping great ideas like Rolando 3, I'm sure everyone would love to see that come back. Anyway, what's with Gameloft? How come it got so many votes?
I don't like Gameloft, unoriginal games that don't last long. EA isn't much better, but is better in my opinion..I voted for ngmoco. none of the others I really know that well..what's wrong with Firemint?
As the OT, i felt obligated to answer some questions: Q: Why is the DSEffects or *Insert bad dev* not on this poll? A: There is no point putting the obviously crap-shit developer or publisher on here. They would just get all the votes. This poll is about the publishers that were talked about a lot on TA and which of these are the most hated. Q: Why is *Insert your fav publisher* in this poll? A: Take it as a compliment. This means they are worth mentioning. If they get 0 votes, that validates all the love you have for them. It means nobody hates them! Think about it. It much harder to not get some-hate then to get some-love. Q: This poll is the number 2000th i'd seen about hate. The OT should crash and burn in hell or some power-wielding mod should delete this. A: Well, if we don't know who we hate the most, how would we realize who we love the most? See previous answer.
It's because no-one hates them. Just because they're a bad developer, does not mean that people hate them. I like to laugh at their games.
im in hate with gamevil right now.. saying there games are fully optimized for a touch screen, but their obviously not. but off the list.. Tapulous of course
dude! i couldnt have said it better myself! what they really need is a sonic game where you play as yourself... beating the crap out of sonic... now that would be awesome
honestly i think ngmoco isn't that bad. I mean yea their games are freemium, but your getting great games for free and as long as you don't become addicted or anything you won't have to pay anything. I've been playing eliminate pro for about 3 months now and its one of my top games and i haven't payed a penny
F*** Activision, blew off two great developers (of MW2), and now the whole thing is in court (2 lawsuits), and MW3 or whatever is being delayed each day this goes on. Infinity Ward is basically crumbling, with 13 of its staff either fired or resigning, and West and Zampella, the two heads of Infinity Ward, have now gone back to EA and created their own studio, Respawn Entertainment. Anybody up for digging a hole around Activision's headquarters and burying them? I'm all for it! http://kotaku.com/5513694/the-modern-warfare-fight-your-guide-to-activision-vs-infinity-ward?skyline=true&s=i
Yeah and Activation is countersuing the former Infinity Ward executives. I'm not surprised they decided to move to EA, Activision has become a tight-fisted bully of a publisher.
NGmoco? What's up with everyone digging on NGmoco, pretty much every game they've done is amazing, with the exception of dropship. They are to iPhone games as Apple is to computing. Original, fun and all around awesome.
