First I said who then looked it up... yeah, Obama received a Nobel peace Prize too.

I had to look him up too. To save other people the effort, he's the lead guy behind the Elder Scrolls games (1, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and all the of the expansions for each) and Fallout 3 and 4.

Despite the continuing dumbing down of everything Oblivion onward, Daggerfall and especially Morrowind were amazing for their time and he probably deserves it for those two alone. I probably spent as much time on those two games as any MMO and it really makes me sad how little choice and freedom exist in the modern gamebryo engine games. Not saying they are bad games, just disappointing compared to their legacy.

Wait Gabe Newell doesn't have one ? That's actually surprising.
Yeah, we can bitch and moan about the declining depth of Bethesda games, but theymadethe modern sandbox RPG. On the other hand, their heavy utilization of middleware and level design made of lego bricks will never let them make something as awesome as Witcher 3, even if they have enough sense to not release the same game every year and continue to support mods as one of the last few AAA developers.

I went to school with him. It's amazing, he didn't make a huge impression on me that he was going to be rabidly successful. He didn't talk very much.
