Congratulations, Sir Ian. As well as this honour, you also have the distinction of being the first person I know personally to be knighted. :D

I can't think of a better way to represent the gaming industry than to be a Knight!

That's cool. What Online stuff has he done. Obviously GW and Fighting Fantasy I'm aware of but this isn't really online.

The ‘captains of industry’ knighthoods never fail to amuse. Here's a gong for getting rich.  :-[

How much does a knighthood cost these days? Presumably less than a life peerage?

I'd knight him purely for the Fighting Fantasy books that made my childhood bearable
