in what way is a writer different to a game developer in both examples the are creators and in a way artists
This is going to sound very egotastical, but that's doesn't make it less true, I am an artist. ICSTOR is an ideas man. He has half decent ideas, but hires writers and coders, then sets the renders up himself. Hell, he even has his patrons test the game for him. I write, code, set-up, and render all by myself. Even without the money, my projects will still be created. I want to create. I have passion and drive, he doesn't. That's what seperates an artist from a creator/developer. Creators and developers are just fancy titles. He wants to make things but doesn't care about them. He has almost 0 drive. He is simply there to say "Oh dudes, check out this great idea" and when the idea takes too long, he gets bored and wants to move one, without being held accountable to deliver a product. No passion or drive.
