One of the three people to win the Nobel prize in chemistry in 2024 was Sir Demis Hassabis.
In short, he founded DeepMind (which Google bought), and was in the team that developed AlphaFold.
But he also designed Theme Park (1994) with Peter Molyneux. And then later at Elixir Studios was the "executive designer" of Evil Genius (2004).
Not sure how much more this tells except that now Molyneux can say he has collaborated with a future Nobel laureate (unless there's already someone else). Still, I think many would be proud just to have co-created Theme Park.
A former Bullfrog designer won the Nobel Prize in chemistry. My brain just exploded.
He also designed Republic: the Revolution (2003), by the way, which was almost a surpassingly brilliant game.
He's certainly had a better last two decades than Molyneux.
