    It's surprising how often players become lead designers. The head of the top guild on my server in Everquest became the lead quest designer on WoW.

      @ManyATrueNerd  5 років тому +38

      It's very cool when it happens - Jon Shafer was also very young when he became Lead Designer on Civ V - I can't find an exact date, but it was in his early 20s.

      Martin Anward, who was the game director for Sterlaris, first got noticed by Paradox after a heavily modded Lets Play on the Something Awful forums that started in Crusader Kings and continued through Europa Universalis III, then Victoria, and into Hearts of Iron II, where he played a family through CK, and then heavily modded EU III to take into account the countries and histories of his CK game, and then did the same with Victoria from the EU III game, and then HOI II from the Victoria game. It was remarkable, and he totally deserved that job.

      Dunno, he makes mistakes. Though most people would not notice. If you really want to nerd Roman history, look for Mike Duncan's Roman history podcast, it is on UA-cam as well and the same level as a university course.
      But Jon is much more knowledgeable, enlightened and entertaining than just about any other gaming youtuber. Plus he is witty and snarky, and seems like a nice chap. One of my absolute favourite UA-camrs and my favourite gaming youtuber.

That pic. I want to believe. But he looks so carnivorous. OK I'll buy this one, but if I'm funding the next EA boss I will spank you. He doesn't look like a saviour but he is walking the walk again (Civ 5 was evil on the wallet if you bought in early).
