And I care why?
I like Major Nelson, thus I vote for him. I could care less what anyone else's opinion is on this kind of thing. I vote for people I like. I'm not arguing Romero had done more, but he doesn't get my vote.
Not to mention if you want to talk about "icon's" in the strictest sense I can 100% guarantee you Nelson is FAR more recognized by the gaming community as a whole. Only core's have any idea who Romero is while virtually every person who has ever played an Xbox or checks the internet knows who Nelson is.
So actually define what you mean by icon cause if this was a much broader poll for all gamers to vote I can guarantee you Nelson wins by a landslide.

As I said, you can vote as you want (that's why it's called voting).
I play the Xbox 360 and (obviously) read internet gaming forums and I had little idea who "Major Nelson" was or what he did until I read this thread. I knew he had something to do with Microsoft and that was it. But maybe I'm an exception.
In any case the reasoning for my vote is that Romero has done much more for gaming while working for one of the most iconic studios in PC gaming and that counts much more than being an internet personality / blogger or working on one mediocre gaming platform...

No, i think you're right. Nelson is only recognizable to the same kind of gamer who knows who Romero is in the first place
