One of the genre's steadiest hands. Firor produced Dark Age of Camelot at Mythic, then spent eighteen years building and running ZeniMax Online Studios around The Elder Scrolls Online — shepherding it from a rough 2014 launch through the One Tamriel rework into a top-five Western MMORPG. He left ZeniMax in July 2025 after Microsoft cancelled the studio's next MMO.
Ran the same MMORPG for over a decade and left it bigger than it launched — the rarest achievement on this list.— MMOlist Hall of Fame citation
