Next Generation (http://www.next-gen.biz) has posted a wonderful obituary (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1959&Itemid=2) for Bruce Carver who sadly passed away last week at the age of 57.
Bruce Carver, one of the game industry's great innovators and entrepreneurs died last week, age 57. He will be remembered for his enormous contribution to sports games, especially through his Links series of golf games, as well as for his generosity and kindness.
In 1997, PC Gamer awarded him the accolade as one of the 'Gods of Gaming'. In 1999, Access was bought by Microsoft, and this saw the beginning of the decline of Links. The series was gradually superseded by new 3D games and big-money licenses.
Carver left Microsoft in 2003 to launch two new successful businesses. He was most actively involved in Carver Homes, which built award-winning luxury houses to order. It satisfied his passion for detail and his meticulous eye for beauty. He was also a partner in TrueGolf; offering large-scale video simulations for the home.
R.I.P., Bruce.
