Well he's spot on about this one. That has been my theory at least, for many years. Anyone I met that had ambition to be "a game designer" was utterly incompetent at everything.
But he is speaking too broadly. Many indie devs are good designers, and I know plenty of good designers, but they just don't go under that title. Rather all of them are either programmers or artists with a good idea they're set out to implement.
So technically they aren't purely focused on game design, which I think he's speaking about. So maybe a bit of a wrong choice of words, but I agree with him.

Yeah, I have little respect for Garriot. He basically fucked everyone over with Tabula Rasa. That could have been a good game and because of him it was shit. Even better was how he used the money he made from the game to fund a trip to space, instead of improving the game.
He can go suck a fat donkey dick.

Yeah I have no problems with the current graphics if you look at the big picture. I'm actually somewhat interested in this.

When was the last time Lord British actually did something good?
He used to be a legend, sure, like David Bradley and Caneghem.
Three "fathers" of CRPG genre.
But hey,check out David's last game - dungeon lords.And where is Caneghem, what has he done lately? So, forgive me, if I'm somewhat skeptical about all these "comebacks" of former badass CRPG developers

I'll just keep my expectations low and judge the final product. Sometimes this seems to be the best strategy. Just look at Demonicon.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Yeah, it seems to be the right approach 
It just "sounds" so cheesy - Lord British's Shroud of Avatar 
It looks like a deliberate attempt to exploit nostalgic feelings of "old crpg farts" like some of us 
But.. at least it will be better than mass effect , I hope

At first I was skeptical about SoTA especially with the poor kickstarter plea vid and the multitude of backer rewards but now I'm more and more excited about it. From what I can see, they do seem to be including the community feedback during development. I don't mind below average graphics. Gameplay is key and I think they are focusing on that.

$12,000 castles and $2100 deeds - inside Shroud of the Avatar's booming housing market
The unreleased game with a property market more crazy than London's.
| Quote: | | He's asking for hundreds, even thousands of dollars from you in return for real estate in his new game Shroud of the Avatar. And it's working. Shroud of the Avatar has become the second highest-earning crowdfunded game behind Star Citizen, with a huge portion of its income - $6m of $8m so far - attributable to the game's online Add-On Store, which is dominated by all things real estate: deeds to land, houses themselves, bushes, shrubbery, decorations, statues. You can buy a $10 Wooden Outhouse, a $10 Ornate Tile Hot Tub (on offer, reduced from $15!), or a $150 Druid Town House that looks like a home carved out of a gnarled old tree. You can buy some cupid pants and wings in time for Valentine's Day. The Shroud of the Avatar Add-On Store is like an expensive medieval Sims catalogue. |

I guess it's attracting the Second Life crowd. People who waste money on the game just to sit inside their virtual house and roleplay.
