Ted Designated for Induction into the AIAS Hall of Fame
Insomniac Games’ founder and departing CEO is almost certain to be honored at some point during the 28th annual DICE Awards ceremony.
The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has declared that it will induct Insomniac Games founder and outgoing CEO Ted Price into its Hall of Fame at the upcoming DICE Awards next month.
Earlier this week, Price announced his intention to step down as CEO after three decades with the studio. Chad Dezern, Ryan Schneider, and Jen Huang will assume his title as co-studio leaders following his exit in March.
“Ted has led Insomniac Games and our industry with integrity and excellence for over 30 years,” remarked Schneider.
“He exemplifies Insomniac’s mission of creating a positive and enduring influence on individuals’ lives, motivating countless employees, collaborators, and players with a truly extraordinary legacy.”
AIAS president Meggan Scavio added: “From the humble beginnings of Insomniac Games as an independent studio to its emergence as a dominant PlayStation studio, Ted has made a lasting impact on our industry.
“His legacy includes a portfolio of cherished and critically lauded games, and a studio that holds him in high regard.”
