David Braben to Receive OBE

The Queen's Honours list this year has a rather epic name on it, David Braben. The founder of Frontier, co-founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, BAFTA games and SkillSet board member gets a gong this year and bloody well deserved it is too.

He took to twitter this week to thank all at Frontier for the honour, also expressing similar sentiments on the Frontier website. As well as mentioning his pride at the studio exhibiting at E3 without a publisher for the first time showing Elite: Dangerous, which received several nominations and one "Game of the Show" award.

Heartfelt thanks to all those that have sent congratulations on my OBE. This award is for all of us at Frontier that have worked very hard.
