Are These People Reshaping the Gaming Industry?

Posted by Zonk on from the hard-to-carry-around-their-massive-brains dept.

Mark Graham writes "An EU game development site has put up a list of the 25 people they think are 'reshaping the games business'. Although they admit the list is highly subjective, it's a debate-provoking piece, and some of the entries (Portal designer Kim Swift and Kongregate.com's founder) are spot on, going for the people that have introduced innovations rather than those that dominate column inches. Miyamoto is absent from the list, for example — although his boss Satoru Iwata is in there. Including Japansese designers like Hironobo Sakaguchi (ranked for his successful prolific outsourced development process) instead of Hideo Kojima is sure to anger a few fanboys. Or at least raise a few eyebrows." Anyone they left off that should obviously be on there?

  1. Can we fix the icon by kriston · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Do you think that, just maybe, for Slashdot's ten year anniversary we might be able to fix that Atari joystick icon so the button is on the left-hand side like it's supposed to be?

    That is all.

    She's quite pretty in the face. Makes me want to cuddle her!

      You see a cute woman and all you want to do is cuddle?

      That's not just gay, that's Richard Simmons Gay.

      I wouldn't say she's pretty, more like plain, only a little more frumpy and dirty. I think it's her hair that makes her look unclean and her clothes that make her easily overlooked.

      I never truly realised just how desperate the average Slashdot account holder was until now. Disgusting.

    To know if I want to f*ck her, I need to know what she looks like in low-riser pants with her navel showing. (Or less clothing than that.) But in any case, I've had a girlfriend for over a year, so wanting to anything her is kinda academic.

      Oh, so you want to know if you could f*ck her? That's the last time I'm wearing those pants and you can get academic with your hand for a month!

      More bragging: she's also petite, hot, and a Stanford graduate. I highly recommend that the single and non-African American portion of Slashdot date black women. Statistics from dating sites indicate that lots of people eliminate them from their preferences. Well, there's lots of smart and hot black women out there.

      That, and take up some form of couples dancing. And hygiene. Confidence. Yada yada...
