Game Industry Person of the Year

Game site GameDaily has picked its person of the year. While Nintendo President Satoru Iwata came in at #2, Blizzard's WoW mastermind Rob Pardo at #3 and the perpetually happy CliffyB at #4, the number one spot goes to the now departed ESA president Douglas Lowenstein. While Crecente broke this news of Lowenstein's exit, GameDaily mulls over why he mattered this year. Brian Ashcraft
