Ozymandias:
Actual people, I refer to here, like Hideo Kojima or Shiggy.

Right now I think I'm a pretty huge fan of Goichi Suda and Ferry Halim. Suda operates on a level of video game love that is without compare in his industry. While his games are, in some way, technically unimpressive, he does it with such a flair and style that he's unparalleled in the industry. While everyone else is trying to draw you into the game as an alternate reality, Suda is forcing you out. He's deconstructing and waving the game in your face as what it really is: a danged video game.

Ferry Halim, meanwhile, is probably not as instantly known, but you probably know his Flash games at Orisinal. He takes the most simple, pleasant premises and makes a very relaxing, addictive game out of them. His games are both calming and frantic. It's a very unique effect and I love Winterbells, Bugs, and Pocketful of Stars.

Storm Rider:
So I assume we're talking about individuals and not studios?

KvP:
MCA

Dimmukane:
I also like Tim Schafer.

Sid Meier is also cool.  I think I was behind him on the way to work earlier this week.

And also the Doctors from Bioware.  They go without saying.

Ragnar Tornquist is probably hands down the best storyteller ever, and Feargus(sic) Urquhart is a definite runner-up.  The first did the Dreamfall series, the second is Obsidian's lead writer.

carrotosaurus:
Say, I hope everyone's aware that Tim Schafer is awesome!
