Don't be fooled by sensational headline bullshit. lots of my country's folk fooled by that bullshit.

Important part is

game design is the hardest, but also the most valuable skill to build in the industry

What was his last good game again? I really don't remember.

Same question for "I think Chris Roberts is one of them, Will Wright's another, Peter Molyneux is another."

Other than that, he is right. If you are going to become a game designer, you should know every other field. For me personally, being a game designer is kind of being a jack of all trades. Not necessarily super good in everything, but you should at least know what you are dealing with.

He raises a handful of good points (some of which reek of Captain Obvious to me), but they get buried under a torrent of arrogant crap he spews.

I'm surprised there's enough space on Earth for seven billion people on top of Garriot and his EGO.
