'the top 100 "men and women whose power, talent, or moral example is transforming the world." '

Let's all calm down and read this sentence again.
-Does he have power?
Yes. Not all-encompassing power, but quite a lot of heft within the gaming industry.
-Does he have talent?
This one is more open for debate, but I would personally say yes, as without talent in ertain areas of design/marketing he would be unlikely to have made it as far as he has.
-Is he shaping the world?
Well, he's certainly shaping A world. Besides, you need only casually approach google to see that WoW has grabbed far more mainstream attention than any of its competitors, and the result of that is a deeper integration of games and organic world programming in mainstream ulture and technology. It may not be a revolution of geek culture, but WoW's profile has made a dramatic difference to cultural perception, however you look at it.
