This guy struck it lucky and was able to make a game that made his name. He can now choose his projects. Has every game hes made been brilliant? Debatable.

i would love to pick ten unknown designers including mr Garriot, give them equal funds and tell them to make me a game. Then we would see how good you really were.

Garriott may be the opposite of a humble person, but do yourself a favor and look up the history of RPGs. You'll find out that he's one of the most influential persons in videogaming history. He doesn't have to prove his talent anymore, he proved it more than 30 years ago.
