From eGamer, "There are always going to be those pillars of a medium that define expectations. We will forever be seeking the next BioShock Infinite, The Last of Us, Half-Life 2 or Journey. Games which gamers can easily consider viable assets to the “games as art” debate. This is an inevitability of any form of entertainment. Any medium be it literature, film and videogames will have these definers of what is considered “Art”. For example, we have Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations and in film there is Citizen Kane. These examples are benchmarks of quality in their respective mediums, but when you take a closer look they are not necessarily the best in the business, or more specifically games that fit into each gamer’s own personal preferences. My personal “Citizen Kane” is not your “Citizen Kane”. Gamers’ opinions and tastes diverge".

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
