În cadrul celei de-a XIV-a ediţii summit-ului D.I.C.E. 2011 (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) ce se va desfăşura pe 10 februarie 2011 la Las Vegas, fondatorii studiourilor BioWare - Dr. Ray Muzyka şi Dr. Greg Zeschuk – vor fi incluşi în AIAS Hall of Fame.

Va fi pentru prima data când două personalităţi din domeniu vor primi simultan distincţia acordată de Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) pentru recunoaşterea contribuţiei lor la dezvoltarea industriei jocurilor video.

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) has announced that Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk, co-founders of the legendary development studio BioWare™, will be the 14th and 15th inductees into the AIAS Hall of Fame, the first time that this honor has been provided to two individuals. The AIAS Hall of Fame is bestowed on game creators whose efforts and contributions have expanded the scope and success of the interactive entertainment industry. The "Doctors" of Bioware, a division of Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS), are respected industry-wide for their emotionally engaging and detailed cinematic games, and are responsible for award winning games and franchises such as Baldur's Gate, Star Wars™: Knights of the Old Republic™, Neverwinter Nights, Mass Effect™ and Dragon Age™.

The Hall of Fame Award will be presented by Mike Capps, President of Epic Games, at the 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards at the 2011 D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) Summit on Thursday, February 10, 2011, at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas where "The Doctors" will also be taking the stage and speaking at the conference.

"The Doctors — Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk — have produced some of the most wildly successful and accomplished games, and these will resonate among gamers for a very long time," said Martin Rae, president, Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences. "The range of their talents is endless, from game design and production to being accomplished in business and corporate leadership, and their original backgrounds as physicians. They truly embody what it means to be a Hall of Fame recipient and the AIAS is looking forward to including them into our esteemed list of inductees."
