no one gives a **** about Rovio i guess :P
well they are widely sucessful and basically known by every man, woman and child on the planet. however they invented a rather basic game. whereas minecraft really innovated, I think our audience will be a little biased to minecraft as a result!
so...umm... who are they?
Nope i never heard of Angry birds, nor that company... Are they any good?
Ive never heard of either of them.

If you never heard of those companies you shouldn't be on this site. I personally don't think any of those companies innovated that much. I have both games and love them, but minecraft copyed most of there mechanics and artstyle from another game, it's still growing and becoming it's own game though and angry birds is so insanely basic and idea has been doing millions of times but they added a nice artstyle that is really all.

BTW, the site didn't have it when the poll was added. So you know... "If you never heard of those companies you shouldn't be on this site" makes the whole situation seem ironic.

Not really considering angry birds is probably one of the biggest games around you would have to be living in a underground shelter to not know what it is, meaning if your on a game dev site and don't know about angry birds then you need to catch up with the times xD.
I dont live under a rock you noob, and I have never played angry birds, it looks ****.
developers that are normally on this site don't have time to play other games anyways majority are busy working 24/7 :/, Just becuase they are game developers or programmers does not mean they like playing games personally. i myself enjoy programming in any form not so much playing games all day lol
from which game they did copy minecraft? i would love to play the FATHER OF MINECRAFT :D except its Infiminer or Stranded :D
What kind of ******* poll is this?
Basically I've never heard of that name...
well I never heard of them. I only know of good games and developers. sorry if your offended that I don't know what angry birds is.
Really, I don't understand the craze behind Angry Birds. I mean, it's fun I suppose, but it's not really anything too new. I remember playing a flash game called Crush the Castle which is essentially the same exact game but in a medieval setting, and it actually was released almost 8 months before Angry Birds by Armor Games. Personally, I think Minecraft is a much greater feat of game development, and it's still growing and developing into a bigger and better game. However, there hasn't really been anything new to come out of Angry Birds other than new platform releases and holiday skin packs and whatnot. I realize this poll is focused on WHO I'd rather be and not the better GAME, but regardless I'd rather be whoever developed the better game, which I believe to be Notch. Of course, I'm happier being me instead of either of them, but I felt like that was a cop-out answer and basically just a way to invalidate the credibility of the poll's results. I'd be much more interested in the results of a poll with just the first two choices.
I would rather be mr money, known to the world as money.
The one susceptible to inflation, greed, and generally being printed out of thin air, with nothing of value backing you up? No thanks.
Could understand if somebody would like to be a gold nugget, though. Even if an unrefined one.
Weird poll is weird, but I would be prefer to be me + get alot of money! :)
i'm finnish, rovio is finnish... finland rocks!
notch.... nuff said
*Shiver* Ravio hell no, there isin't anything intresting with his games. Not bad meant but. That guy is too full of himself.

Notch is the god.
Nobody is more powerful than Notch.
Because he made "Lego online" which played by children around the globe?
Your definition of power saddens me.
If you think only children play it you are an idiot.
Children and adults who still have a kid on the emotional side of them.
But mostly children.
but if you play CoD then you are a MANLY MAN on the inside, but if WoW then you are the wizard of the elven mountain and you wear "underpants of epic agility" xD
Never heard of either one of 'em. Guess this means I should start playing more videogames.
It's like the old question of "would you rather be rich and famous or just rich?"
I'd rather not have to deal with the fame to be honest and would choose just to be rich
Im happy o be myself. They made on cool game, but who says that they stay successfull? Hthey cant develop what they want. I could do :D if I can. Im happy to be myself witz all my good and bad sides :D
Why would you ask someone who they want to be? Isn't that a slight bit, sickening?
Happy me is happy being.. me. Notch speaks Swedish so that's a no-go :( Oh wait.. that was a joke. (Seriously, no offense to you Swedes :P)
Well I voted for being me, but being Notch would be pretty cool. Making loads of money for poorly done game programming? Sounds alright.
Seriously, people that are happy about being themselves? I'm one unsuccessful bastard.
Well, i just like to chill...xD
My life experience > Minecraft/Angry Birds. I'm doing well money wise and have the freedom to create my own games so an easy one for me. I love my life so "Me". That and my work schedule is so much more intense and I think I'd get bored elsewhere heh.
Both of them are impersonations of everything whats wrong with the industry today: laziness, not knowing anything about video games, and stealing other people's ideas.
I miss the "kill both" button.
I gotta me me, unprofitable me!... wait...
I'm Notch's hat. Suck it!
Who wouldn't want to be Notch who has a **** tone of money?
Me
I just dont think id like a beard :/
I voted for myself, but if Alt were an option, I'd vote him:
Moddb.com
Who wouldn't want to have his own orbit?
lol its a long time since someone made my laugh in real life from a comment online. Man so awesome he has his own orbit, loved the picture showing his orbit in solar system lol
*Being
Also, myself, even though we often have our fall-outs, me and myself have alot in common.
myself ofcourse :) meeting notch OK but become? naah
Notch is a pretty cool guy. But I'm not too big on fame, I'll stick with myself.
retarded poll, you guys are lacking ideas this much?
minecraft is for retards so no.
look i am happy who i am but Angry Birds is a hipe. minecraft is populair but not so much as Angry Birds. So 2nd place i would been ravio.
Neither, i'm happy been me! FTW
