This list fails for lack of Gunpei Yokoi: creator of the Game&Watch, Kid Icarus, Metroid, and most importantly of all the NES and Game Boy. The man very likely did more gaming than anyone on the list -yes, even Miyamoto- and then got tossed aside like an old rag in what is probably the greatest sin against gaming that Nintendo (or perhaps any gaming company) has ever committed.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
