Steve Jobs Voted Most Influential Man in Video Games, Igniting a Firestorm of Complaints - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;33128197]Hey guys Halo created the FPS genre.[/QUOTE] Don't even start. [editline]5th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Clavus;33128209]For an actual list of people that shaped or are currently shaping video game history, [url=http://uk.games.ign.com/articles/121/1211278p1.html]you're better off with this list[/url].[/QUOTE] Automerge!

I thought Jobs wanted to distance his products from gaming as far as possible, so people would "take them (his products) more seriously"...

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;33128188]On top of that what the hell are video games[/QUOTE] video games, you mean like that tron movie?

I wouldn't be surprised if Steve Jobs faked his own death for attention and was living the good life on the moon.

Sounds like a knee jerk reaction since he died. Similar to how a president who dies in office will die with a 100% approval rating, give or take 5%.

What sort of black magic is this? :v: Wait, Mark Zuckerberg? What the fuck? Is the world suddenly full of retards?

The Woz needs more love than this Steve guy. But anyways, there are several people who would fit this better than Steve Jobs? No mention of Gabe Newell, John Carmack, Sid Meier, Will Wright, Alexei Pajitnov, Suda51, Hideo Kojima, etc? Hell, Stephen Spielberg would fit better onto this.

It's from The Fly 2.

John "Fine Steak" Carmack, Gabe "Lods of emone" Newell, Robert "Dick Shit" Kotick, Markus "Vacation Time" Perrson, just to name a few that are infinitely more influential than Steve Jobs.

in other news: the man who invented the oven has been voted best cook in the world

Well to be fair, there is the iphone which is able to play shitloads of free good games or play incredibly cheap good games straight from your pocket, but even still that's Apple itself, not him directly. Even if it is directly because of him, that still doesn't make him the most influential.

[QUOTE=Agent Fedora;33128096]Shigeru Miyamoto?[/QUOTE] That man gave me the best childhood ever.

I guess he influenced mobile gaming quite a lot.

[QUOTE=Fort83;33128132]and? i love my mac[/QUOTE] your avatar is a good analogy. A robot can't eat burgers just as a mac can't play games.

[QUOTE=SCopE5000;33128670]I guess he influenced mobile gaming quite a lot.[/QUOTE] Not really, mobile gaming was pretty common before he came in to play. All the voters for him were apple fanboys. I promise.
