What does that mean? He delivered some really great games a long time ago and after that he is entitled to say what he wants and we should just bow and accept it?
He has some good points about game designing and that not everybody who is a designer is actually good at it. I'm sure that to emphasize that point, he mentioned that he virtually never never met any good designers, at least not any that are on his level. Just to make clear that there aren't that many good designers.
In my opinion that was a dumb thing to say, but he said it and is not taking it back either. Good for him. At least he stands by what he believes in.
I think there are plenty of good game designers that are as good or better than Richard
Garriott, especially compared to anything he created after the Ultima's. They just don't share his vision to game design.
