Did I? Or did you just make up a scenario that doesn't exist?
"In fact, nowadays, everything is built on such a high level abstraction layers for ease of porting that I'd wonder how many people even can reliable do this level of under the hood work.
There aren't many developers in the gaming industry that go to or know this level of programming, and they easily rival some of the best in EPD/EAD (or MonolithSoft) when it comes to breaking a system open for the last oodles of power."
From what I can tell, I didn't underestimate anyone. I made only a comparison between Shin'en and EAD/EPD (Monolith) and said that not many people go to this level of coding or programming (fewer having any realiable knowledge of it). My statement was part supposition ("I wonder"), part fact about abstraction layer and high level API dev work, and part giving them credit as being some of the best in the field. None of this says anything about who or how good the rest of the field is, just that they are relatively very good.
