    This guy is the Trump of game design. I’m convinced the only reason any of his games has anything well done or enjoyable in them is because he got lucky and hired people who knew what they were doing, not because of anything he’s done himself.

      This guy is the Trump of game design.

      He did periodically release games. And the games were, generally speaking, of good quality and enjoyable to play. That’s far more than anything Trump’s managed.

      If you’ve ever watched Mythic Quest, I’d love to meet the Poppy Li to his Ian Grimm.

      I like to think he did have a creative spark back in the 90s, but he seems to have gotten bored of making good video games and just decided to chase trends (mobile gaming, blockchain). If you loose interest in something, your previous successes can only take you so far…
