There's a reason the 'storytellers' in games aren't getting star billing. Games are a hugely collaborative effort, unlike books (which are just a collaborative effort). Music is also collaborative, but there's way more people involved in making most games, than the people whose names end up on an album cover. Movies are also a highly collaborative effort, but even there, there's usually one 'czar' - often the director, that gets to stand behind nearly every creative decision made in the film (Even if they weren't the one who made it). Again, no such thing usually exists with games. There's just too many parts to them, no one person owns all of them, and the costs of making 'cuts' preclude a single opinionated personality from doing an eleventh-hour pass on it in post-production.
