Edge Online has profiled one hundred of the "hottest" game developers of 2009, including Mythic's Mark Jacobs, BioWare's Dan Tudge, Infinite Interactive's Steve Fawkner, Lionhead's Peter Molyneux, Bethesda's Emil Pagliarulo, and Blizzard's Dustin Browder and Rob Pardo. Since Mr. Pardo is the highest ranked (#11), let's go with his blurb:

It seems that the influence of World of Warcraft grows with every passing year. Take the holiday release of Wrath of the Lich King, the expansion pack for WoW that sold over 2.4 million copies in its first 24 hours: that's even more than the last expansion, The Burning Crusade. Pardo and Blizzard have managed to turn genre-leading design into a seemingly endless source of unimaginably high revenue. With Starcraft II, Diablo III, and another unannounced project waiting in the wings, it seems that Pardo and his team will be only taking more hours from gamers in future.
