Beckett used to make price guides for pro Sports trading cards. I still I have a ton of them laying around... It seems like they have switched gears up a bit and are now covering MMOs. Decent site imo ^^
DALLAS, TX (May 12, 2010) – The newest issue of Beckett Massive Online Gamer (#25 Jul/Aug 2010) contains the magazine’s annual list of the top 20 most influential people in massively multiplayer online games for 2009. This year, a new face sits atop the list, replacing Blizzard Entertainment’s Rob Pardo, who topped the rankings for two straight years.
John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment, and Laralyn McWilliams, lead designer of Free Realms, co-occupy the #1 spot in this year’s rankings, owing to Free Realms’ highly visible debut and SOE’s overall corporate direction and success. Smedley ranked #3 on last year’s list, and McWilliams made MOG’s list of the 10 Most Influential Women in MMOs in 2009.
The complete list is:
John Smedley and Laralyn McWilliams (Sony Online Entertainment)
Huateng Ma (Tencent)
Mike Morhaime (Blizzard)
John Riccitiello (Electronic Arts)
Jack Emmert and John Needham (Cryptic Studios)
