I have a bit of a problem with this. With any other field I'd agree 100% on that. But I feel video-games are different. Consider even just the classic games that she's talking about. They were made in the 80s and 90s, some by just 1 dude, most by a very small group of guys. How is it that guys back in the 80s could do…

"Does everyone remember the 1994 issue of green lantern?" Um nope. I don't read comics, and if I did, I'd hope you could come up with a recent…
