By the way, I hear early EQ was a total flop too, Neric. Did you play it?
One of the biggest fallacies in our culture lies in believing that individuals who are a part of something new, innovative, and/or successful can continue to be so unerringly. Every creator/innovator has flops. It doesn't matter who they are. Yet when those people stumble and don't deliver, everyone acts like the bottom fell out of existence.
Folks, please manage your own expectations. People are fallible.
Brad and Co had some great ideas about game mechanics, lore, and sphere design, some elements of which are a positive in VG's current state. The implementation fell flat. Brad is the conceptual guy, not the implementation guy. And he must be a heck of a salesman.
The dialog that will haunt him and keep him from making the same mistake next time will be, "Show me how that works in terms of mechanics, Brad...".
