Rod Humble Named 2nd Hottest Developer of 2009


I think Congratulations are in order for Mr. Rod Humble (Head of The Sims Studio), he snapped up the #2 spot on Edge Online's top 100 hottest game designers. Edge online wrote up a quick note on Humble
The release of a new numbered Sims game represents a tectonic event in PC gaming. So the fact that Humble was recently promoted to act as chief executor of this launch says volumes for what he’s done for the franchise in his five years of constant Sims 2 production. Humble for his part has earned every rung of the ladder; he’s a veteran of 16-bit game design, and his years of high-level production on the classic EverQuest were a significant contribution to the incubation of the entire MMO sector. And he continues to pay his dues, releasing one-man indie efforts like The Marriage despite his ever-increasing professional responsibilities. It’s likely that few people are more passionate about the medium than Humble.
