Sir Peter Molyneux?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-quite-a-promotion dept.

KBV writes "It seems that for the first time in history a games developer has been granted an OBE (Order Of the British Empire) by the Queen of England. When Peter Molyneux - the creator of Black & White, Fable, Populous and many other games - was asked by BBC News about the honor he simply said "It's come completely out of the blue, I never would have guessed that I'd have that kind of honour." For the games industry as a whole, this is very much a good thing. It's great that developers are being recognized for their hard work and cultural impact on the world."

    Only knighted British subjects get the title Sir. Certainly not Americans, that's what you get for tossing the tea.
