Steve Jobs named most influential person in gaming!

If they wanted to make a list, they should've done a better job with it.

What a load of tosh. I can't wait to die and become the greatest DJ record that the world has ever seen.

Edit: Removing a moot point

And not a single man remembered Nolan Bushnell.

This just in.. Dude that invented paper is most important and influential person in literature!
People who make top 10's have no idea what they're talking about.

Steve Wozniack was waaaaay cooler than jobs. Jobs was a businessman. Wozniack was a hacker (not in the bad sense).

Top five people to have shaped video games:
1. Steve Jobs
2. Gabe Newell (cofounder and managing director of Valve)
3. Shigeru Miyamoto (developer of Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda)
4. Tim Berners-Lee
5. Mark Zuckerberg

Top five products to have shaped video games:
1. Apple iPhone
2. Nintendo Wii
3. Microsoft Xbox Live
4. The original Sony PlayStation
5. Valve's Steam"

Were video games invented with the PS1 and just came into their own with the introduction of Facebook? Seriously, what the f$%&?!? I hate pop culture sometimes.

I can see the PlayStation being one of the influential products as it really brought the mainstream into gaming, however, the rest of the list is, as Jobs would say, "complete shit".

Whoever wrote that list must have dropped more acid than the late Steve Jobs.

It's like someone went to C-net.com and searched for "anything video game related".

[Czernobog]

This is one of the most terrible, barely researched lists I've ever seen. :-\

[dsheinem]

No, those aren't the opinions of mere fervid fanbois; they're the considered conclusions of 1,000 gaming-industry executives surveyed in the run-up to next week's London Games Conference.

I completely agree with this list. It is well thought out and insightful. Not sure why you all disagree.

Cheers, industry executives!

Everyone at work is staring at me because I LOL at this...
