Do videogames have their own version of Allen Moore?

Do videogames have their own version of Allen Moore?
By that I mean

Don't forget

I think we have way too many Allen Moores in the games industry.

Most likely Kojima. Everything about his most recent games feel like they want to be anything but a video game.

lmao maybe in the old days before everyone realized what a faggot he became

Are you just lacking perspective or are you some angry soyboy?

David Cage.

I wouldn't say David Cage is highly respected except by non gamer journos.

Phil Fish? Though I'm unsure how well received he is by Reddit or Neogaf.

Easy, Yoko Taro. He's been known to annoy the shit out of players since day one, and reports of him stopping doing that with automata are greatly exaggerated.

I'm taking the "extremely respected in the industry" condition into consideration. I doubt anyone like Cage or Druckmann or Boon are anything near respected.

...

Does "in the industry" classifies as "by normalfags"?
If so, then any SJW dev of any big company qualifies. A dime a dozen

Jonathan Blow

This.
Kojima hates the entire industry and keeps wishing he could be a film maker. Closest to Moore.


Nobody respects him.


Fuck no


Yeah, no.


Nope.

It's hard to pull that off with vidya, because it requires way more capital to bring a product to completion. So if you burn your way with either the AAA mafia or the indie mafia, you have nowhere else to get funding from. KS doesn't count, for reasons that are now beyond obvious.

Yeah, no.

John Carmack? He always seemed to care more for tech than the actual games.

kojima

I guess everyone who jumped on the anti-gamergate bandwagon counts, since they were shitting on the very idea of the traditional video game audience. Looking at you, Schafer.
