I cannot agree with that article at all.

The basis of any art shouldn't be to move forward, it should be to deliver the best quality possible. What level of technology you use is not a relevant measure of quality, or how lazy you are, nor is how difficult the process is. And using 25 year old ideas is not in itself a bad thing, if the audience still find the ideas fresh.

Yet this is what he basis his conclusions on. And I cannot agree with any of it.

Exactly.  By Daemon's logic, Capcom was lazy with MegaMan 9.  But I doubt he would agree with that.

 

Nintendo plays the heart strings of nostalgia and they are lazy.  Any other developer does it and they are praised.
