I agree.

I must admit that I get a little annoyed when I read or hear, "ideas are ten a penny". If that were really so, everyone would be making Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Psychonauts, Grim Fandango, Knights of the Old Republic, Gabriel Knight, Etc... Or superbly original games like them, at least.

Yes, everyone has ideas, but not everyone has good ideas. The real trick comes in learning how to tell the good from the bad and knowing how to make the good ideas great by the way that you develop them. Lego Star Wars, anyone?
