Olds know you had to prioritize dial up time for playing games rather than reading about them. Reading strategy guides written before the game was released by people who never had the opportunity to actually play it online before writing while my parents are on the phone and trying to sneak forums in during computer class to try to catch up on the meta.

Linus Torvalds. He's making a list.

Every example of "design by committee" can be matched by an example of a legendary writer's room (eg: golden era Simpsons)

Every brilliant auteur can be matched with an example of an "idea's man" who had to be reigned in by a team or was really a team all along with one person taking credit (eg: George Lucas).

I think it's more likely there are no hard rules for projects being better off with dedicated writers or teams of writers.

It's like asking if it's better for music to be written by singer-songwriter or a band working collaboratively. Both methods can produce great art.

But much like it exceptionally difficult to impossible to predict or manufacture a hit, I think it's probably a generally hard problem to determine what should be written by a team or a solo writer until after the work is already done.

GRR Martin contributes to a collaborative series, Wildcards, and his heart seems to be in it more than the Game of Thrones series (asoiaf) which is probably the main reason asoiaf remains incomplete.

Hitler didn't eat red meat and ate less white meat than most people on account of his diet being 90% amphetamines, this was enough to be considered "vegetarian" within the cultural context of the og burgerbrain society.

Most certainly the case. In rts games the social convention is that "gg" concedes the game while leaving the game without saying "gg" is considered rude and implies some level of saltiness.
