Done reading. I think the author, in his attempt to portrait ZUN as a visionary, may have made what ZUN said sound a little too much like definite and grandiose statements. People may walk away from this article with the impression that ZUN will retire from making yearly shooting games, for example, when DDC's ending clearly indicates that story of Gensokyo is far from over. The article could also use some editing (Puzzle and Dragons doesn't have a sales number? French Bread is "now" doing arcade development, not "not".)
However, this is still a valuable article that says things rarely said in most Western coverage - how many Western articles begin by acknowledging the rumor that Japanese developers prefer to hire non-gamers?
