| Dodece said: The father of gaming was and always will be Ralph Baer. This man brought about gamings genesis. Miyamoto is but one in a string of individuals that has refined gaming. Do not confuse a gaming superstar with gamings creator. A better analogy is to see Miyamoto as one of gamings prophets. Further more Miyamoto is one of the more quixotic prophets. His noble goals often overlook the practical necessities of the industry. Often enough frustrating progress, and at other times actually hurting the industry. Miyamoto is a very one dimensional character without others in the industry countering his pull is the past the situation today might be more dire, and we might even be talking about the gaming collapse of the mid nineties. Without others pulling the console industry in to more mature directions today almost everyone would be playing on the PC exclusively. We would refer to consoles as something very young children use rather then adults. I know I will get lambasted for it, but there is only so much E for everyone gameplay that a grown adult can stomach. That is what Miyamoto specializes in. Had Miyamoto not been aggressively opposed he would have driven the hardware and the software into the ground. While you may ponder all the good he has done the industry. Take time and notice some of the epic failures he has produced. His dogged determination to follow his vision has quite often lead Nintendo down some dark paths. |
In my opinion that's some of the worst flamebait, stealth trolling and character assassination I've seen you write. The "Nintendo is teh kiddies" stealth troll is amazingly bad. What happened?
