The OP doesn't look like Pachter to me. The guy in non-gravity's pic is Pachter, I'm pretty sure.

Is the OP pic supposed to be Pachter?

 

 Google it and you'll see the pic the OP used:

But it did go multiplatform...



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

He answered "nope" to the question.

So he was wrong

As I said, I don't think that's him.  The two pics have men with diff color eyes, eyebrows, etc.  There were articles posted with Pachter's pic from GDC just recently.  He's got dark hair, dark eyes, glasses -- unless he's wearing contacts, and is using hair coloring (and on his eyebrows, to boot), the OP pic is not him, no matter what Google claims.

Oh I know it's the wrong guy. And didn't want to say that Google is the almighty source of information.

But besides from their looks they may have the same stupid predictions :P Whoever that other guy is.

 That's John Riccitiello of EA (former CEO).
