Sad to say, but Nolan has no notability to him. He's a prime example of creation overshadowing creator. He did a lot of big work, but he has no recognition to him, especially not to people who have a limited knowledge on video games. Miyamoto and Newell are in a similar position, but to a much lesser extent. Miyamoto definitely is the most well known of any video game designer to people outside of the video game community. Newell is kiiiind of close, but it's mainly a result of his memetic status of "Lord Gaben", and I only feel he has a remote chance because Peter at least has a Steam account.

These guys are important to the video game industry, there is no denying this. But video games are a super niche subject. Everyone plays them, but they still manage to get looked down on compared to other areas like movies or books. We've had a total of two battles with video game characters and they were back in early Season 2, and they seem super reluctant on doing more. The closest we've gotten since is a cameo by Edward Kenway solely because they were paid to, Pokémon in Ash vs Darwin, and Tony Hawk who has his own video games along with one of his backgrounds being based on the boxart of one of his video games. If they do a video game developer battle at all, it's Miyamoto vs Newell or bust.
