Non-notable company. It has produced some popular games but that does not make it a notable company. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:13, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep At time of nomination it had cites to 8 stories from reliable sources in business and video games press (VentureBeat, Bloomberg, San Francisco Business Times, TechCrunch, All Things D, Gamasutra). It meets WP:GNG. It's hard to see this nomination as being made in good faith: possibly the nominator thinks he/she can bring down the whole corrupt capitalist system by AfDing corporate pages on Wikipedia - if only that was all it took. --Colapeninsula (talk) 21:34, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I have nothing against the capitalist system but what I don't like is the WP is far to easily used to promote a commercial enterprise. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 23:06, 19 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - Notable company. Passes WP:GNG. Northamerica1000(talk) 12:08, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Unless/until the nominator has a better deletion rationale, it sure looks like Colapeninsula's commentary on sources would trump the vague assertion of being "non-notable". Sergecross73   msg me   20:15, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
