Nobody
Oh man. That is one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. Sadly, it seems to have gone unnoticed by everyone else posting. I congratulate you torum ferrorist for your subtle yet genius attack.
As for this thread, Insanolord and I seem to have the same gaming tastes because I pretty much agreed with what he said in the one genre of gaming only thread and Sid Meier would be a top choice for me also but to provide some variety, I'll go with Masahiro Sakurai create of Kirby, my favorite video game character.
Besides creating one of the all-time great characters, Sakurai has the guts to stand up to Miyamoto when he thought Kirby should be yellow and Sakurai wanted it pink. He won out on that battle. He helped create the Smash Bros. franchise. Then when his Kirby racing game was ruined because of another weird Miyamoto idea of only using one button, Sakurai said, "Enough of this crap" and left Nintendo and made his own gaming company and then publicly criticised Nintendo about their interference in that game. Normally such a developer and Nintendo would be done and neither would work with the other again, right? Not so. Nintendo begged Sakurai to come back and make Brawl for them since they had no idea how to do it except add online to the Melee version. Sakurai accepted their apology and made it so. He helms one of the largest cash cow franchises in the Nintendo brand and even helped revitalize Kid Icarus to further show his greatness. In addition, he writes a weekly column for Famitsu magazine and posts cat pictures on the internet. He is what every hardcore fanboy wishes they were in real life except he has the talent to actually do it.
