From Gamasutra: With 2014 coming to a close, it’s time for our end of year roundups, starting with perhaps our most important annual list: The Top 10 Game Developers of 2014.
The creation of this list involved a fair amount of back and forth among our staff — adding developers, subtracting developers, adding them back in, taking them back out, etc. — until we eventually came to the 10 game developers and studios you see below.
Like our selections from previous years, recognition on this list isn’t necessarily just about who made a good game in 2014, although that does help. But also, these are the developers and studios that left their mark on this year in a meaningful way, shaping the year in game development.
Below in alphabetical order are the 10 individual developers and studios, selected by Gamasutra’s writers, that exceeded our expectations and pushed creative, commercial and cultural boundaries.
