Sounds accurate.
How can any game developer claim to know what makes a good or great game if they haven't spent time with one of the classics or some of the games from that series?
It would be the same for someone crafting a console FPS without having played the likes of Goldeneye, Halo or Call of Duty post COD3. For platformers side scrolling or 3D, Mario should be mandatory for anyone claiming to be a creator.
