Since the page doesn't really call out who's speaking, the presenter is Raph Koster, who has a long history designing online games (including Ultima Online and Star Wars Galaxies) and writing about game design theory.

I was glad to see that Raph Koster is still puttering about. Star Wars Galaxies soaked up many hours of my time as a teenager.

He's also a controversial figure known for misrepresenting games before they're released. I still hold a grudge against him for Star Wars Galaxies.
