Although most traditional artistic styles, such as painting, poetry, and drawing, are unique works, there is no room for collaboration. Which might be a good thing considering the Sistine Chapel was built by Michelangelo and didn't require anyone else's help, as far as I know. But comparing Michelangelo's conventional art to gambling, we are in completely different realms. Video games are not traditional at all. Chayka states that games require tremendous participation from all parts of a team to successfully achieve the complete and desired results on behalf of the viewer.

With this example, Ebert's thoughts on the individual artist would be Kojima, and the creative integrity of his staff supports Chayka's idea
