Nod, hell look at Brad's own... clip out the back half of it and you have "Here's a guy that played paper and pen RPG's and got inspired to get into PC versions by Ultima 2"... which although Ultima 2 was a great game, it's a tad primitive much like all those other games Utnayan is weakly trying to condemn.
And honestly, to play devil's advocate a little and say maybe Utnayan is right (it's a stretch but still) and they did have little experience beyond what's quoted there - if you're trying to break free of the existing mold to a genre, isn't it sensible to avoid an abundance of people with a history in the genre?
Lose, Lose either way you look at it Utnayan - drop the nonsensical weak argument...
Just like the reason you started looking at them in the first place (me mentioning that alot of the team was brought on within the last two years - contrary to your allusions they were full steam for four years)
