Harmonix Dudes Enter Time 100
Joystiq reports that “those Harmonix guys” Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy have made it to this year’s Time 100, the list of the hundred most influential people. Both Rigopulos and Egozy are creators of Rock Band, the ultra popular band simulator that has taken the nation by storm. In fact, the write up at Time notes that Rock Band is “one of the ways kids will find music in the future” and “may just turn out to be up there with the rise of FM radio, CDs or MTV.”
While the above statements just might be a bit farfetched, both the Harmonix dudes deserve the Time nomination, which otherwise includes titans like presidents, presidential hopefuls and other such ‘important’ people. Quite surprisingly, this list was topped by none other than Shigeru Miyamoto, the designer of Mario and Zelda, among other franchises.
