If you are already aware of my previous polls,you know that in each one,one of those companies up there won.now I want to know which is the best PC game developer overall.those polls weren't pointless you know.

Now about my opinion,I say Bioware.Of course I love those other two.

Note:1.Best PC game developer doesn't mean that they must only publish their games for PC.{ no wise studio would do that of course:(}

2.There are many studios that are good PC developers. But I decided to only focus on these three.because I knew that their votes are going to be few.

What's the name of the next vs thread?

Anyway, I'd go with Bioware untill Doablo 3 and Starcraft 2, it might change after tha, and from Valve I only like TF 2 and L4D, not enough to make them an option in my case.

Let's see: Bioware stopped making good games after KOTOR (and it isn't anymore a PC developer). Valve hasn't made a good game apart from HL1 and TF2. Blizzard wins by default.

Lol,no.Blizzard is famous for WOW(online game),and Valve for almost every MMOFPS ever made.Sure they made some offline games,but they aren't there best ones.

While I like Blizzard more Valve has made more then that. I don't like TF2 though. HL2, L4D, HL2 episodes are all good games. And CSS :P. But I still prefer Blizzard only game of theirs I hate is WoW.

Valve? Are you kidding? All they've made is HL1/2 and a bunch of glorified mods of these two games.

Bioware is overall my fav, but their recent PC games mostly seem like ports. Blizzard I've always considered a bit overrated. So I'd say Valve, great games that don't feel compromised by multiplat development, good support and steam is nice too.

We'll see, I'm still not that convinced about that whole mana/hp orb system, or how the spells work, hopefully it'll be great but so far it looks more like a console simplification.

i hope i did, cod games have turned into best sellers with lack of quality, but hey atleast the pc versions is polished and bugless with amazing perfomance, games like ss2 have been replaced by dumbed down bioshock series and deus ex 3 is being turned in fast gameplay action shooter with health regen and covering system...what the hell happened to the pc? fear has been killzoneOwned (turned similar to killzone 2 and failed) Inferior budget developers like serious sam and avp developers have been mutallated, i fear avp3 will turn into another turok And pc gamers praise buggy games like stalker with bad perfomance, which is made by developers that make buggy RTS games ( i do like stalker but i am pointing out how inferior it is it terms of development quality compared with old classics) Also too much praise is given to low budget developers like russian cryostasis and necrovision and zeno clash... (i actually do like low budget game because they got good ideas and there are way too many on the pc but am pointing out that we lack an AAA pc exclusive developer right now) Finnally far cry has been consolized and crysis is unpolished and they developed a new engine just for the console users will be able to have it in consoles and cyrtek will make some big bucks like infinty ward. (allthough i do like both crysis and far cry 2) What did i miss? O yeah the cake is a lie gta iv and gears of war dont worth neither 10, 9.5 or 9.0....

Actually Blizzard has oh let me think 6 good games not including WoW. (Warcraft 1-3, Starcraft, Diablo 1-2). Soon to be 7 in about another 8 months when SC2 is released ^^.

die? of course not but it has weaken alot and mutated as hell, i cant even remember the last time iv seen a "polished pc game" No matter if its a multiplatform, a port, a pc exlusive with low budget or with high budget, with long time in development or short time in development they result is the same: "the pc version is unpolished because we are second class buyers and dedicated pirates"

Out of those, I'd definitely have to go with Valve - Bioware haven't made a great RPG in roughly a decade (imo), and I've grown tired of Blizzard's games. They're addictive for a few weeks, and then you never want to play them again.

Blizzard.. Valve and Bioware are both amazing developers, but I have spent no where near the amount of times I have spent with Blizzard games.. Especially with World of Warcraft, Diablo 2, and Starcraft.

Though one. But since I don't like SC and WoW, and I only have one Bioware game. I would have to say Valve.

i seriously doubt that
