Interesting point, gilly. What if, say, a game theorist (someone who only writes about games) came up with a startling idea based on involving the player emotionally and psychologically to the point where the game is nearly impossible to play because of it. A few years later, a young developer is inspired by this idea and creates his game based on it, and the game becomes a commercial and critical success, making millions of dollars and spawning lesser quality clones. Would that young developer be a 'genius' or 'brilliant' in this case?
