Agree.

If developers don't learn from their mistakes or take into account target audience opinion on at least some things we may be stuck with (e.g.) confusing and cumbersome verb-coin interfaces which detract from the story etc. "The heart" will (or should) shine through in a game but it will not always give you everything you need to know to make the game as good as it can be in the practical sense.
