Well, I had this idea because of Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory. You know, ID-Software developed this game. It would have become yet another bland shooter, a bit capture the flag, nothing special maybe worth a few weeks of fun.
But then what happened was amazing, they gave this shooter to SplashDamage, a newly formed developer team with lots of creativity, and said: "Here you are. Make something interesting out of the multiplayer!"
I'm saying, that the brain of a game developer works differently than those of a creative person. And because in our good old days a programmer could start writing programs with just a few weeks of learning. But ever since then, the creativity of developers was destroyed by 10.000 DirectX and Windows Kernel function calls. And as long a programming languages get more complex, the new games coming out will be getting worse and worse! It's time to split up the developers into "graphic" and "game mechanics" specialists.
