Videogames have become the world’s most lucrative global entertainment medium, but the industry’s top players are unknown compared with film directors and TV show runners.
Take Vince Zampella, who is responsible for the creation of three multibillion-dollar franchises, including the original Call of Duty and Modern Warfare, both of which are among the most successful games in history.
Zampella also made Apex Legends as the head of Respawn, his independent studio that Electronic Arts (ticker: EA) wisely acquired in 2017.
Earlier this year, EA announced that Apex had surpassed $2 billion in bookings.
