They were the only relevant examples available. Do you have counters to them? I never said it gives anyone an answer, I was simply answering a very bold statement made by a member stating that Miyamoto was responsible for Rare's success and without him they are shit. These finely chosen examples were pasted to counter that statement, nothing more. What conslusion did I draw for myself, that it looks like Miyamoto didn't play much of a hand in Rare's games? Find me something that says he did in a positive way. What about what I said wasn't mod-like though? Was it breaking forum rules? Should I stay in my ivory tower and let the little people fight the battles on the ground? I think you're taking my title a bit too seriously.

The quoting got a little long so I just kept the part where you drew your conclusion. You did show that with those examples, Miyamoto didn't appear to be helping Rare much, but we also didn't dive very deep into those games. Was there nothing he did at all to help? That's fine if true, but it doesn't say anything about that. You said: " It appears Rare helped Nintendo out more than Nintendo helped Rare out after all," yet your post hardly proves that. What you were proving was that Miyamoto didn't help out with those games, but that doesn't mean at all that Rare helped Nintendo out more than Nintendo helped out Rare. That's the problem with your conclusion.
The reason why I was nagging on you is because regular users tend to look up to mods, and it's commonly thought of around the internet that mods are supposed to set good examples for other users to follow. Picking out those few cases to prove that Miyamoto didn't help Rare with those games is fine, but trying to draw a conclusion that Nintendo didn't help Rare as much as Rare helped Nintendo and implying as far that Nintendo even needed Rare to stay "relevent" is obsurd.
