Well most gamers don’t read the Times magazine but they have just released their list for 2010 Most Influential people. Too everyone’s surprise (and there aren’t a lot of people) the “guys” known for creating the Penny Arcade Expo (P.A.X.) were listed at number 9.
You’re still wondering why this is surprise, while the “Penny Arcade guys” were ranked higher than the President Obama of the United States (14), Hilary Clinton (19), and even Steve Jobs (48) and the Bill and Melinda Gates (65).
With Lady Gaga being number 1, you really have to question who the voters were and what they were on when they voted. Not taking anything away from the “Penny Arcade guys” (Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik if you don’t know), but the 8 people before them rises a lot of eyebrows.
Check out the rest of list here.
