Rand Miller has been making games for decades. The CEO of Cyan is best known for making — with his brother Robyn Miller — the pioneering computer games Myst and Riven in the 1990s. They embraced a brand new medium, the CD-ROM, and made games that told cinematic stories and had amazing visuals.
I interviewed Miller in a fireside chat at our recent GamesBeat Summit 2018 event, and I gave Miller our first-ever GamesBeat Visionary Award. For the first time in a decade of events at GamesBeat, we gave an award to someone who pioneered something momentous. Miller was at the dawn of the age of CD-ROM games, and he’s still on the forefront with virtual reality games, such as Obduction.
