I contest this SD mainly because while he might not be as Popular as Hideo Kojima, He is doing a big project that well over a few 1000 people have been waiting for. He is pretty much in charge of the New Bionic Commando and ask any hardcore fan of Capcom and while he might not be notable as the other Ben Judd who I personally never heard of on this site he is notable for taking on this project and succeeding with Bionic Commando Rearmed and has a chance of possibly making a good update to the series with the Next-Gen Bionic Commando which without him overseeing the project might have fell through months ago, he is personally in Sweden over looking the development cycle and has been over the last month with the exception of the recent tokyo game show. Vault9Dweller ( talk) 08:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC) Oh yes one more note it's already recognized under the WP:VG Section as being relevant even though it is low and if you allow this page to stay I'll police it more often and ask people to cite sources more Vault9Dweller ( talk) 08:33, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Has anyone else noticed the shower-head over his left shoulder?
If that really is Ben Judd, is low-resolution photo of him getting out of the shower really the best for this article? It makes this page look even more like a hoax, in my opinion.
Get a picture of him wearing clothes, and outside his bathroom for the article, or no picture at all. That would be best, the picture just undermines the article. -- Pstanton ( talk) 04:29, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
It was him playing around during an interview Full video right here: http://www.giantbomb.com/giant-bomb-at-tgs-day-01/17-71/?page=3&sort=first it starts at 4:30 (if you catch it before that he's doing a little joking) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.133.181 ( talk) 03:30, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
Though his notability may have been questionable in the past, I think there's enough sources to establish notability now. I have started the article, using something like 25 sources. Only a small handful of them are from companies related to Judd, and the rest are reliable sources. I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of possible sources. Many are probably locked away in print magazines, or on now defunct websites.
An overview of sources showing notability:
1. Bionic Commando. He was the producer and spokesperson for Rearmed and the other game. He did many interviews to promote the game. I have seen a few already, and I'm sure more exist. Examples: MTV, Telegraph, IGN, GiantBomb.
2. Him leaving Capcom was widely reported in game news sites. Examples: Engaget, GameInformer, Joystick,
3. He has several full on profiles or interviews. Examples: Gameinformer, Gamasutra, Polygon (feature interviewing Judd as well as several other game devs).
4. Mighty Number 9. Judd was a translator and agent for Inafune/Comcept at the time. Many RS mention him when discussing the game. Now the big part is that Judd said his infamous "It's better than nothing", which caused a lot of media attention, online mockery/memes. This was because it was initially thought that these were Inafune's words.
This incident was a big news item at the time, and most of the gaming sites covered it at least once. Examples: Eurogamer, IGN, Arstechnia, PCgamer, Vice,
5. Bloodstained. He was interviewed alongside Igarashi a lot between 2015-2016. Examples: IGN, Gamespot (can't find the original), various E3 events in 2016 (on Twitch, can't find them right now).
6. Dangen's foundation in 2017 was widely reported on, and Judd is both a co-founder and spokesperson for it. The articles feature a lot of focus on Judd. Coverage: Japan Times, IGN, GameInformer,
7. Assorted smaller interviews where Judd is not the main focus, but he is cited as a source and given several paragraphs. Polygon.
8. Google Books cites several books and magazines that mention him. Have not examined them. There's likely many print only game mags that discuss him. He was a spokesperson and producer at Capcom for a while, so he likely has many interviews. The Artbooks likely are a source of some info as well. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 08:58, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
Since he's based in Japan, he's also been covered by Japanese media. I'll try to incorporate them into the article. Most are confirmed RS, but some are unknown. Games itmedia, Game business, Get News are the ones I'm not familliar with.

The old article cited him as being born on "October 25, 1974 in Centerville, Ohio". This 2014 obit seems to confirm the Centerville origin, but doesn't directly prove it. His personal facebook page lists that. Can I just use that? Harizotoh9 ( talk) 10:50, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
The article is currently written like a hit piece, the source article is neutral and contains both quotes of people defending him and accusing him. The current edit of the article does not contain any quotes from the Usgamer article of people who defend him or his defense etc.
Since these are the two things that are being reverted, will go through them:
<Predatory Behavior vs Bad Business Practices>
only in the article does it state some of his practices "veer towards predatory practices", you can not remain neutral by removing the modifier of predatory practices from the source.
Former Partner <> Game Developer
The fact that a former partner is accusing a person of sexual harassment rather than a random game developer is important, the flashing genital and some of the was brought up by his former partner. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.59.89.254 ( talk) 05:43, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
