Kotaku Editor In GamePro's 20 Most Influential
By Erin Pettigrew on Wed May 6, 2009
GamePro rounded up its 20 Most Influential People in Gaming and Brian Crecente, Managing Editor of Kotaku, anchors the list. With "investigative grit and a healthy disregard for the rules," Crecente has built Kotaku into a "powerhouse" of video gaming news and culture. Congrats to Crecente and Kotaku for the recognition!
And for anyone doubting the relevancy of gaming to real life, Crecente sets us straight in his interview:
Video games as a subject is an endlessly fascinating topic, not just because it's about how people play, but because it touches on just about everything. As gaming writers we can delve into business reporting, look at education, the medical field, sociology, crime, art, the list goes on and on. As long as we remember to explore things beyond the realm of the creation and consumption of video games there will always be an opportunity to reach a broader, more mainstream audience.
