Spencer Tucker of Scopely gives the GamesBeat Visionary Award to Ted Price, CEO of Insomniac Games.

Insomniac’s Ted Price nabs the second annual GamesBeat Visionary Award

We pulled off a nice surprise by giving Ted Price, the CEO of Insomniac Games, our second annual GamesBeat Visionary Award. It was like our own little Easter egg inside the GamesBeat Summit 2019 event in Los Angeles.

Price spoke with Morgan Webb of Bonfire Studios about crafting community and culture at a game company — something that Price has done for over 25 years. I recently interviewed Price about those 25 years, and it was a pleasure to go over the company’s history, starting with games like Disruptor and Spyro, on through last year’s smash PlayStation 4 hit, Marvel’s Spider-Man.
