    There’s tons of recognition in game development as well. Notch? ConcernedApe? Peter Molyneux?

    There’s tons of no-name actors and athletes to go with the big names as well.

      This was an ironic read for me. Your examples really solidified the opposite of your point for me. People can name their top 20 favorite offensive linemen in football. You had an entire industry and thought of 3 names that most people even within the fandoms would fail to recognize.

      Who even is concerned Ape?

        Just because you don’t recognize them doesn’t mean no one else would be able to. I couldn’t name an athlete I hadn’t read about in the last five minutes if I tried. That doesn’t mean they don’t have name recognition.

        Interesting that you only chose one of the three names as something you didn’t recognize.

          Lmao, I’m talking to a person who couldn’t name a single one of Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Michael Phelps, Babe Ruth, Messi, Usain Bolt, Muhammid Ali, etc… let’s do some less top athletes and just drop some athlete names I can do off the top of my head: Brett Farve, Manning, Mike Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Williams sisters,

          I’ll probably try to think of more later.

          then, I don’t think you can be considered a trustworthy input on this topic. That says so much more about you than anything else.

          It’s such a monumentally clueless statement about the world around you. I would be embarrassed to out myself as that clueless on physical fitness. This is all coming from a guy who never watched sports, except maybe in high school a decade+ ago.

          No shit I told you I don’t recognize the name I said I didn’t recognize. I’ve followed video games and worked in video game development for 25+ years. I was establishing how far you were fishing for 3 recognizable names, even amongst would be experts on the subject.

          Yea, I don’t trust your input. It feels better to assume you wrote that comment in bad faith rather than out of cluelessness.
