Wait a minute, why is Brad Wardell on this list? Didn't he just do that Galactic Civilizations thing, which went through fifteen years and three major operating systems before actually making any sort of impact? I'll tell you why he's so important: Because Stardock is one of the few software shops that produces and publishes top-flight games just as well as tedious, cerebellum-grinding enterprise software. And for every geek out there toiling under a clueless manager, for every code monkey slaving away on a financial services platform for MBAs who wouldn't know PHP from Python if an external class fell from the heavens onto their desks, for every indie game designer staying up nights to program his masterpiece while administrating servers during the day - Brad Wardell is your patron saint, bro. Don't ever forget that. -AC
