Robin Walker: Still at Valve, worked on Half-Life: Alyx. Probably really wealthy due to the way Valve compensation works and being one of the leads of Team Fortress 2.
Brad McQuaid: Kept chasing the dragon of having something as successful as EverQuest again, and died at 50.
The cover also says 10 interviews so there's 4 more "gods" to track down.
I am pretty sure the "Ken" speaking in the interview segments is Ken Levine of Looking Glass and Irrational Games fame. Currently creative director of Ghost Story Games, a studio that developed zero games so far and its only project has been in development heck for quite some time, allegedly directly due to Levine's mismanagement. From his interviews with Geoff and his Reddit AMAs he comes across as full of hot air and I suspect he couldn't write himself out of a paper bag if not for the great designers that he was lucky enough to have by his side in the past. On his own he doesn't seem to have the ability to either lead or write.
Side note: Lmao at the Liquid Entertainment guy trying to distance himself from Tiberian Sun. Now it is a revered cult classic but back then it was the "tepid" black sheep of the C&C family.
Bleszinski made enough money from Epic, and a few later works that he apparently just does whatever these days, owns some bars, does some theater work (lol).

American McGee:
Stevie Case: Silicon Valley DEI exec
Alex Garden: Silicon Valley Venture Capital
Cliff Bleszinski: I assumed he owned substantial part of Epic making him a billionaire but apparently not. So IDK

I was hoping that Ken was Ken Silverman, the superjew who made the game engine for Duke3d and Blood and Shadow Warrior, when he was 14.

He also composed PREPSONG.KDM, which was then visualized in trip.swf and ultimately given lyrics in The Trip Nnemotic.
