Darling Brothers, UK Indie Game Devs, Upgraded to CBE

Posted by timothy on from the which-brother-submitted-this dept.

scriptedfun writes "The BBC reports that David and Richard Darling, the brother tandem who founded Codemasters back in the mid-'80s from their bedroom, were recently made Commanders of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for their 'services to the computer games industry.' Their story is definitely inspiring for modern-day independent game developers." Naming such honorees annually is one of the perks of being Queen.

    The Darlings are actually a musical group living in a shotgun shack in the hills near Mayberry.

    The queen doesn't know anything.
