Here’s a video of gaming industry legend Bing Gordon talking about being honored with the lifetime achievement award by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. Gordon worked at Electronic Arts from 1982 to 2008 — including 10 years as chief creative officer — helping grow the company to the juggernaut that it is today. He’s currently on the board of directors for Amazon, Ngmoco, and Zynga. Although he’s on the business side of games, he has helped the business grow creatively as well as financially — an exceedingly rare thing with executives these days.

Cerny Games Mark Cerny, Blizzard’s Paul Sams and Frank Pearce, the AIAS’ Martin Rae, and Microsoft’s Don Mattrick share their thoughts on Gordon.
