Salvatore might whore out his characters but Im failing to see how that makes him any less of an author? I do think his characters are a bit over the top but he can still put together a pretty damn good story. If Drizzt and company were toned down a little bit his stuff would be pretty classic I think.

If nothing else he did in fact create one of the most famous/loved fantasy characters out there. Most people, even those that dont read fantasy will of heard the name Drizzt before. He has the ability to take something simple and turn it into gold. Their MMO might be really good. /shrug

Edit*

It could be far far worst and we could get the author that wrote the Elminster stuff doing MMOs instead hehe. I dont remember his name, I only read one Elminster book but if you want to talk about over the top garbage.. that would be it.
