Gamers have done the most for gaming.


I came here to say that.

If gamers wouldn't have bought the fucking thing gaming would have died faster than Disco.


Only an idiot would resist to the attraction of gaming

Easy answer for both a person and a company.

Shigeru Miyamoto has been closely involved in the creation of countless longlasting IPs. He is so far ahead of everyone else in that regard, and even more importantly, many of these IPs turned people into gamers.

Nintendo has not only introduced various control inputs that have become industry standards, but their business models which they introduced with the NES are also industry standards. Plus they are the publisher with the most varied and highest regarded portfolio. Lastly, the Wii and DS account for the most impressive single-generation performance in history; gaming on dedicated platforms has never been more popular.

Well, Rol beat me to my answer, also because I'm lazy I'm just going to quote it. To add to Shigeru, there is Donkey Kong that made arcades popular in the west again, an IP of him.

Charles Martel. He prevented sarracens from conquering the europe and was the most important person for anything that has to do with modern science.



Nintendo and more specifically Shigeru Miyamoto.
Nintend saved console games witht he nes. The first game with different songs for different types of level. Tons of innovation in game design, some of the most influential franchises, the mother fuckin' gameboy! Pokemon. They practically reset the standards for 3D gaming with Super Mario 64. Seriously that game pretty much informed all of 3D gaming. And super mario bro.s did the same for 2D. Motion controls etc, it just goes on and on.

Anyone who says Miyamoto doesn't know what they're talking about.

The single most important person in gaming history was Ralph Baer, the man who made the Brown Box. For those of you unaware, the Brown Box was the prototype for the Magnavox Odyssey. What's that you ask? It's only the first gaming console.

Ralph Baer, the father of console gaming, and to a large extent, all video gaming.
