This guy is the Trump of game design. I'm convinced the only reason any of his games has anything well done or enjoyable in them is because he got lucky and hired people who knew what they were doing, not because of anything he's done himself.

He did periodically release games. And the games were, generally speaking, of good quality and enjoyable to play. That's far more than anything Trump's managed.
