A couple weeks ago I asked people to nominate Frogboy for the third annual Edge Game Industry Heroes Award (EGIHA). It is given to 25 people in the industry worldwide that engender respect for the profession and demonstrated superior ability in achieving lasting tangible positive results throughout the year. They are seen as a catalyst of success and inspire confidence and admiration within their peer group and others.
I like to think of the EGIHA as an a combined Olympic & Oscar award for the gaming industry. There is no particular order of rank however. The named recipients are simply considered the best and the brightest the industry had to offer for the given year by the Edge editorial board. I think this is a very nice well deserved honor for Brad and his maverick activities for nearly two decades in establishing and building SD and crafting its alliances within the industry.
Moreover it is also a great testament to team SD as well as team IC for all their hard work this past year. After all a leader is nothing without a solid team of people around him/her and it appears SD & IC have it in spades. This is especially so given the company surrounding Brad on the list. Consequently I say it makes the SD family the biggest little guys out there.
*picks up a pitchfork & a torch*
In an industry where EA and Take2 are bleeding money (despite record revenue!) there is something to be said about Brad's business sensibilities. Keep development costs low, appeal to your base, and support your products.Stardock and its partners (Ironclad, GPG) make some of the best PC games around, but I think Stardock's business model is its most important contribution to the industry (especially as we read about ever stupider DRM, PC GAMING IS TEH DEADZ!!!1, and publishers spending ungodly sums of money to make a game).Congrats Brad.
It is not a ranked list.
Credit where credit is due, congratulations.
