"I have been extremely fortunate to have ‘grown up’ along side this industry. The work I have done has provided me great joy and I have been proud of the way it has been received by players through the years. But, receiving the Lifetime Achievement award from my peers has been the crowning moment in my career!"

Eugene Jarvis,
Raw Thrills

"Receiving the Game Developers Choice Award for Lifetime Achievement was the ultimate 15 minutes of fame for a gamer. It doesn't get any better than that! And if you don't like who won, go out and kick ass for a lifetime and you could be next!"

Yuji Naka,
Sega's Sonic Team

"My passion is games, and having my life's work recognized by developers worldwide is the most meaningful honor I could receive."

David Perry,
Shiny Entertainment

"Nobody wins a Choice Award by taking the easy path... For hard work, for late nights, for entertaining us and for an endless passion to improve the art of making games, that is why we take the time to thank them."
