That's right, the three Blizzard founders (who are already gods in the Warcaft, Starcraft and Diablo universes) Michael Morhaime, Allen Adham, and Frank Pearce will rise to god status in the gaming community on December 10, 2011 with the "Gamer God" Award from Spike TV's Video Game Awards 2011. The Award is such a prestigious title that only one person was bestowed this honor in the past: Will Wright, creator of the Sims series, in 2008. The award is a recognition of Blizzard's contribution to the gaming industry through their topnotch games.
