The biggest surprise: BioWare and valve have succeeded not in the list. The former 100 could get no placement in the top, because they have published a very good game last year with mass effect 2 only and with their DLC policy in terms of Dragon age: origins even have harmed. The overall nine released download add-ons for the game were not good and had bruised the image of BioWare, argues the industry magazine. Valve not has probably, because no game released last year. That since April 2011 commercial Portal 2 is with currently with 95 out of 100 rating (source: metacritic.com) was high in the favour of the press, but apparently not taken into account. The top 100 of the best developers you will find here, there is the report on the absence of BioWare in the top 100 list here.
