50 Games Industry Figures To Watch?

Posted by simoniker on Monday October 13, 2003 @02:31PM from the they're-famous-but-not dept.

Thanks to 1UP for their feature discussing important videogame developers to watch out for, as they list "...fifty people in the game industry - some you've likely heard of, many you've not - who we think will help define gaming the most in the next twelve months." As well as the John Carmacks and Warren Spectors of this world, notably overlooked figures on the list include Julian Eggebrecht of Factor 5 ("Eggebrecht's team is one of the few out there that actually try to tax the GameCube to its limits") and Yasumi Matsuno of Square Enix ("..the director of Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics... [now] directing Final Fantasy XII.")

51: Valve's IT Security Guy

Watch him get booted out of every job in the future!
Watch him use MS Outlook without patching!
Watch him lose his company millions for leaving ports open!
Watch him get grilled into little chunks by the HL2 community!
