I think with creative work, there’s a huge amount of luck involved in what achieves popular success. And in a collaborative medium like video games, the success of the enterprise also depends on the team working well together. I think in many cases we see a great success and assume the artist behind it is a unique genius; it’s possible that we’re just seeing survivorship bias, and that there are many others who are equally talented, and could achieve the same level if they had the opportunity, the right collaborators, the right motivation, etc.
