Cool news, considering this is a rare moment for the game industry, and it's great to see him getting the recognition he deserves. He is definitely up there as far as game creators go.
He (and his amazing team) created my favorite game of all time and some games I absolutely love. He and the people at From deserve all the credit they get. Wish they focused more technical side but those are small issues in comparison to the worlds and gameplay experiences they have and are creating. Hope he has a long and storied career for decades to come.
Definitely one of the most influential designers in games. So happy to see Fromsoft's success over time.
Demon's Souls was such a breath of fresh air in the 360/PS3 era of hand holding games.

Has any game from Hideo Kojima sold as much as Elden Ring? That might be the reason why.
Miyazaki is absolutely more relevant than Kojima currently, absolutely deserved.
The Metal Gear franchise as a whole has sold about as much as everything Miyzaki has worked on combined (both ~60m copies).
Kojima games never reached the mainstream like Elden Ring, different times and social media nowadays helps a lot, but no Metal Gear title has ever reached Elden Ring buzz and success.
I could be wrong but I think Kojima has made the list (or a very similar one) in the past.
Not sure I'd agree with Miyazaki being there but it's cool nonetheless
And? Miyazaki also didn't create elden ring alone either. She directed the most influential game of the pandemic
He didn't create Souls. Nothing outside the indie space is the creation of one person.
Kojima ? Nah, Miyazaki deserves it better.
Yu Suzuki never got a mention ? Boooo TM
Deserved
Demon's souls created a subgenre of action RPGs, NH is the worst animal crossing and she wasn't the creator of the original so nah
Though not the same level as Time 100, she did included in Bloomberg 50 in 2020 as the only game developer on the list.
Aya Kyogoku and Hisashi Nogami, the Humans Behind Animal Crossing
New Horizons has sold more than 26 million copies since its March release, making it the most popular version of the series in its almost 20-year history.

The article in Time, from Neil Druckmann.

Would be even higher on the list if he would brute force his name more to the players during his games. Maybe one good addition would be adding credits when reaching any bonfire, make sure to include his name as much as possible and maybe a big juicy "A HIDETAKA MIYAZAKI GAME" text right there at the end, BOOM.
...but in seriousness, well deserved! He has been very influential in the gaming space for a long time now.

kinda weird to have something like that for 2023 when we're not even five months into the year but whatever
congrats to him. at least as an auter i respect him a lot more than kojima

I won't argue about the quality of TLOU, but the Souls games surely are more influential, and that's the point of the list. But if anything, Druckmann penned the text:
