Top Ten Video Game Designers

The Top Ten
1 Shigeru Miyamoto

He is the creator of various Nintendo franchises, most notably the Mario series. Definitely deserved to be #1.

Voted for the Nintendo guy

Obvious choice.

2 Scott Cawthon Scott Braden Cawthon (born 1978) is an American animator, author, philanthropist, producer, video game developer, voice actor, and writer. He is most well-known as the creator of Five Nights at Freddy's, for which he provided the voice of Phone Guy and Phone Dude.

He is awesome, and it is amazing that he (as well as many other indie game developers that only have one person in them) can make a game all by himself.

3 Satoshi Tajiri Satoshi Tajiri is a Japanese video game designer best known as the creator of the Pokémon franchise and the founder of video game developer Game Freak.

Not only he is great, but he's also autistic which makes him a plus. I wish people would compare autistic people to Satoshi Tajiri instead of doggone Chris-Chan.

4 Markus Persson

too bad he came out as transphobic, but he was good while he lasted

5 Masahiro Sakurai
6 Toby Fox
7 Ed Boon
8 Yuji Naka

People seriously, Yuji Naka is one of the founding fathers for Sonic the Hedgehog.

9 Todd Howard
10 David Vonderhaar
The Contenders
11 Hideo Kojima
12 Gabe Newell Gabe Logan Newell, commonly known by his nickname Gaben, is an American computer programmer and businessman best known as the co-founder of the video game development and digital distribution company Valve Corporation.

Why the hell Is he at #17?

13 Jeb Bergensten
14 Satoru Iwata Satoru Iwata was a Japanese game programmer and businessman who served as the fourth president and chief executive officer of Nintendo.

By far the greatest game programmer of all time, no matter what happened he was always working on a new project. This man is my hero. R.I.P
