game changers
Those who transform
Game changers are developments, ideas, or people that fundamentally alter how something works or is understood.
The term comes from sports, where a single play or player can shift the entire course of a game.
Now applied broadly: Electric vehicles are game changers for the auto industry.
The singular form describes anything with transformative impact: Her testimony was a game changer in the trial.
