As some of you may know, my 'day job' when not helping with MobyGames is working on events including Game Developers Conference. Every year we have an awards show with an 'In Memoriam' section, based around obituaries of game devs who passed away in 2015 and early 2016 that we've compiled on our Gamasutra website.

We draw extensively from credits, covers and screenshots from MobyGames in order to do so - here's this year's 'In Memoriam' video. So thank you to ALL Moby contributors who made this possible. (We also commissioned an animated tribute to the late Satoru Iwata this year that has been particularly well received.)

Amazing Satoru Iwata tribute animation -- it even brought tears to my eyes.

Nice touch with the PET in the beginning. Shows someone really made the research.

Is it only me that can't watch the 'In memoriam GDC 2016' video? I'm getting 'an error occurred, try again later'. (I tried for a couple of days) The animated Satoru Iwata tribute I can see without problems.
