Apparently it is difficult to let a dev can make the game he wants to do. This one is being criticized so much that really what is going to be achieved is that either he does a shitty game following the instructions that everyone wants to give him, or that he gets bored and leaves it.

He knows how the story is going to go and has a more complete picture of the game.
