Fast Company made a list of the 10 most innovative video game companies of 2013. Topping the list is Angry Birds developer Rovio, Chinese media holding company Tencent, Skylanders publisher Activision and Microsoft. The world’s largest video game company, Nintendo, comes in at fifth for ‘asymmetric gaming’ with the Wii U console. On Fast Company’s list of the 50 most innovative companies of 2013, although it recently released a brand-new video game console, Nintendo isn’t ranked, but Rovio, Activision and Microsoft are.
Angry Birds
Dafuq?
Yeah, I went through a few of the other lists on that site, just to give them the benefit of the doubt – No. Just about all of their lists are whack. Not sure where they pull it all from.
Yea, specialy since 2013 had just started.lol at nike num 1
LMAO AT DAT LIST!!!!!
Rovio really? Talk about rehash.
New eveelution just released. Sorry to piggyback.
Eevee is but one pokemon in the entire pokemon franchise. Pokemon is but one franchise in Nintendo’s profile. Normal people with a brain that actually work will conclude that by adding one more evolution to a single pokemon does not negate the other innovative action of an entire company. Also, these list of “best of” are rather pathetic and based on hype.
Hak man everyone know that angry birds space is the best game of 2012 so much innovation…
im jking just to let everyone no
I don’t understand why Rovio takes 1st. I’m not saying Nintendo deserves 1st place either (only because I feel that recent indie developers have made some incredible stuff), but Rovio has made, like, 4 Angry Birds games that recycle a core concept. Actually, they’re all pretty much the same shit. Is Fast Company really that shallow?
Agreed
Who care? That list is made by ignorent morons.
I don’t understand why they have a list for 2013 when 2013 just started.
IKR ? If we’re talking about Generation 7 then Nintendo was BY FAR the most innovative.
The DS and Wii blew everything away and made touch and motion gaming main stream. With Games like Wii sports , Mario Galaxy , Skyward sword etc etc etc being very very innovative games.
Aparently flinging some angry birds around is more innovative than Nintendo land. I beg to differ.
Topping the list is Angry Birds developer Rovio
I think I just threw up a little.
The only Angry Birds game I think is sorta fun is Angry Birds Space
before they starter selling “powers”
Angry birds #1 -.- really thats one of the worst games ever made IMO. It’s ruined the gaming industry
Angry Birds is fun, but not really innovative.
Angry Birds Most Inovative game of 2013(Which started just a month&1/2 ago)?. . . . . . . LMAO XD Fast Company are a bunch of F*cking Dumbass! XD
*Dumbasses ^^
This is stupid. Activision made another COD and rovio made another angry birds game. While Nintendo makes a whole new gaming concept with a whole new controller and console.
software and hardware are two very different things…
Innovation, learn the meaning
Bro . Pinnex Just got home from the trip and wanted to tell you thank you again for the optrutunipy to be a part of the missions trip. My wife and I had our hearts touched for this difficult and unique mission field. We will defin itley be praying for you luke 18:1Love the Allens
Ok, i know nintendo hasnt been doing good lately, but Rovio? REALLY!?! They keep rehashing the same ip, and not in a creativd way, all theyre doing is remasking the same damn fucking game.
How is that innovating?
I guess innovative for them means sales.
Obviously the work of Xbots and Apples *Rolls Eyes*
Having Rovio anywhere on that list automatically invalidates it. Rovio at number one just makes it that much more of a joke.
Angry birds was fun for 5 min. Then it ended up like all other touchscreen/android game, in the trashbin.
hahaha. Making a crush the castle game makes them innovative???
New Eveelution just released.
Activision on the list? Wow, really innovative. Cod, cod2, cod3, cod4, cod5. Hmm lets be innovative and give same game 2 different names: Modern warfare, black ops, modern warfare 2, black ops 2, modern warfare 3, black ops3, Resident evil 6 etc.
Activision did not make Resident Evil 6.
No but they made capcom make Resident Evil like a COD game.
Crapcom made that decision themselfs.
Wow angry bird ummmmmmm angry bird.
Joke list from a joke company
The industry has become a joke just like every country
I’m sorry, you fucking what?
ACTIVISION?!!! INNOVATION!?
FUCK. OFF.
Look at the full list, Apple is on 13th place. This IS a joke. Apple has never invented anything at all, they have just marketed what others (Microsoft) have invented so they can sell it to teenage girls (who only cares about what’s cool) and Hipsters (who think Microsoft products are too mainstream).
This is not very true. Thay haven’t innovated anything in a while, I agree, but hey, graphical OS environments based on windows, mouse controllers, all this on mass production computers, this is Apple work.
While the GUI innovation of windows based operatiing systems could be claimed by Apple, they didn’t invent the mouse.
I know they didn’t. But they implemented it on personnal computers. Innovation is not invention.
We now know why they’re called Fast Company; they’re fast to make calls on things before it’s time to do so.
Any list that has “Angry Bird” on the top spot and ain’t named “Most overrated games” or “Best selling mobile games” is a joke.
“best casual non-gamer game” goes too
I need friends on my 3DS anyone want to exchang friend codes
this should go to nintendo, look at what there doing, this is stupid, who doesnt, agree is stupid, look at the system that they have out, uuhhh, thats nothing new is it
ROVIO? Seriously???
It’s almost as relevant as declaring Mario the best female movie antagonist.
what if Zelda is girl?
Complete bullcrap. I honestly cannot think of any major innovation in 2012 at all apart from the Wii U. Never heard of “Fast Company” before this, and I hope to never to hear from them again. Instant loss of credibility.
why Rovio? They’re games are totall ripoffs of old flash games
Rovio?
Activision?
Microsoft?
What the heck??!!
This is proof americans are bribing the idiots like in everything they do.
Lance Armstrong noob who cheats to win, Tonya Harding crybaby, Microsoft Kinect…and so on…
I don’t think they know the words justice and fair
Wtf does this have to do with anything. Your bashing americans for a smal group of peoples opinions
I bought a NES from goiwdoll and didn’t know it had a red light issue. I was totally bummed and then I found this video and thanks to you I have a functioning NES to play! Thanks a thousand time Kain!
Do they have any actual reasons as to why they chose to put the companies in that order?
April Fools Day came early this year…
Angry Birds
For “gamers”
Angry Birds is kral game.
how the heck is a company that just keeps releasing the same stolen flash game just remixed the most innovative?
Any list ranking anything that’s Angry Bird related on top should NOT ever be taken seriously.
Therefore, I chose the ignore this article.
