No it's not. I wasnt commenting on him being a good or bad developer. In the end he delivered a very good game (I bought it by the way). I was commenting on his efficiency going down by more than half in making a good game - he made braid in 3 and the witness in 7 years and braid was the better game. 

Look, if you have a painter that paints a room perfectly in 20 minutes and then takes a hour on the next room it means half his efficiency has gone.

 

So GAME A with a Meta Score of 50 developed in ONE YEAR was more efficiently developed than GAME B with a Meta Score of 90 developed in TWO YEARS?

GAME A has a Meta Score of 50 for every year in development.

GAME B has a Meta Score of 45 for every year in development.

GAME A >>>>> GAME B

 

You're missing the point. He took more than two times as long to develop a game that's worse than his first one according to critics. That's poor efficiency.
