I mean I agree with his sentiment of not reinventing the wheel. Imagine if every physicist, for example, had to derive the equations of relativity from scratch every time they were looking to make a discovery. We would never get anywhere. This isn't the same thing as straight up plagiarism of course.
Oh yeah, I imagine there would be very few major games developed in the last 20 years that didn't copy things that worked from previous games in terms of structure and design. The blunt language just made me smile. And I guess opens him up to some click-bait titles.
So he took inspiration from DMC zones and made Fable the same size. Because their vision was to big. Plus they took inspiration from Silent Hill on interaction and density of NPCs.
Gee what a scandal this must be. Because surly everything we humans make wasn’t inspired from something that came before it.
