Playing lottery is luck. Building a successful startup is not.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Yay, people more talented and successful than I'll ever be!

 

[jorma]

Holy shit. Day9 isn't 30+? For some reason i just assumed he was waaaay older than that.

still requires some luck. stop trying to make us feel bad

 

[MarkMan]

These young whippersnappers ain't shit.

I'm honored to have worked with some of these fine people.

 

[Bgamer90]

Very cool list.

 

[Acosta]

I'm such a fucking loser

Make space for me.

Lol, the guy who made Candybox is 19, what the fuck did I at 19?

Contributor article?

[Kintaro]

Nice list. Only two females on that list though (possible three)? Need more and more successful ladies in gaming. =/

 

[ArtHands]

Damn these people makes me feel bad at myself

 

[NaviLink]

Add myself to the pile of people going something like "I'm wasting my life" when reading this list. I'm turning 30 soon, I won't ever be part of that list

Not this again. This is clearly the Forbes staff working on this lost together.

Edit: Its not even an opinion article where being a contributor would matter. Seriously, did you just post that to troll people?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Thats not Justin Wong.

Or is it Justin Wong.

What's going on?!

maybe it's gaf member jwong

 

[Dennis]

Any gaffers on the list?

 

[dragonelite]

No programmers....
Gone are the days of the Carmacks.

 

[Dennis]

Most impressed with Oculus Rift guy.

That is awesome.

 

[batman2million]

I'm such a fucking loser

this.

 

[Kerned]

Ludwig Keitzmann is the only person from the gaming press on the list? That's an interesting choice that I totally approve of.

 

[Dennis]

List is sorta missing Tyler Malka (EviLore).

Building up NeoGAF to be the most important gaming site in the world has to count for something.

The motto of the unsuccessful? J/k .

Seriously though, there's nothing like seeing a big list of accomplished young people to make you feel lame.

I'm really looking forward what Alexander Bruce is going to do after Antichamber. He worked on it for many years and was super burned out during long parts of it. Maybe he'll never do something like it again.

edit: Also, this list is very indie dominated, I wonder if that's just because these guys get their names out more. I would hope the bigger companies also have many highly talented young people working for them.

 

[entremet]

I would've loved more detailed writeups. They're pretty sparse.

 

[Sylverstone14]

I really should stop slacking off and get back to using my free time for game dev.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Wow, thats impressive. These people have been at the right time at the right place with the right ppl.

Congratz.

They're also talented, motivated and have vision.

It is indie dominated. I believe it is because most people that work at major studios are not really allowed to talk or brag about their work, so the indie scene will be getting more spotlight just because that is who is showing off at the moment.

That's... a fair point. Would definitely fit on that list (but then again, so would probably a few hundred others we don't know about =)

Its indie dominated because big AAA publishers and development teams are run by season veterans. There's simply not enough room to run a 100 plus team, and have it led by a 20 something. Veteran developers would probably revolt.

NeoGAF will be a force in gaming long after a lot of those profiled have lost relevance.
