How do I respond to this without getting banned?

Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

Every one of those is a developer, in addition to publishers. I read the OP carefully, so don't worry. Plus, read the edited post.

Also, keep in mind, devs can't influence the industry without the backing of a publisher.

damn you and your edits my good sir! dont ruin my thread for me!

Most influential developer?.....none.

Money is the most influential thing of the industry; and so everyone wants to mimic whatever brings money.

EDIT: I also agree with CGI and that all parties has probably helped shape the industry in one way or the other.
