Rob Prado on the Time 100

Blizzard VP Rob Pardo has made it
to TIME Magazine's yearly list of 100 people who are transforming the world around us. Pardo, they say
"didn't invent this kind of game... he merely perfected it." It's interesting to see that World of
Warcraft has developed such a high profile with those outside the gaming industry - enough to have Rob Pardo on TIME's
100. Of course, with 6 million players and counting, how could this game not have an impact? From my
perspective (from the inside looking out), it's hard to see World of Warcraft transforming the world around us - but
what do you think?[Via Joystiq]

With the number of film/tv stars on the list (Meryl Streep?), Pardo isn't that bad a choice from the computer gaming sphere, considering how we're being told time and time again about the revenue that the video game industry generates.
