I instinctively want to fight this, but it actually is increasingly true. smithicide;

one more big slip up and he really will be among the industry's todds
I mean he doesn't really make games anymore so I don't really see how this could be the case

He may not actually "make" them, but he's still in charge of them

i don't know if this was always true though; his name is attached to some classic games

pretty much only applicable to mighty 9

disagree'd

he was merely an artist for all mega man games up to the x series, and nearly all games in which he had a more prominent role in development were among the weaker-weakest ones

he shared the production/direction role with other employees for any games he worked on that did turn out to be good lol

his one and only arguable claim to fame is minish cap, which to be fair is excellent

but otherwise, inafune is an absolute hack (and always has been) and is among the worst of the todd howards

Yeah, but he never made promises that he couldn't keep until mighty

that's not the only qualifier for todd howardism

inafune also amassed, embraced, and unapologetically abused his wholly undeserved cult following lol

only to shamelessly deliver a shite product

and that makes him among the worst of the todds

But that's about mighty... which was what I originally said

the mighty fiasco was such an egregious combination of outright theft, broken promises and cult-of-personalityism that it places him near the top of the list lol

I'm not really familiar with this guy at all. What has he done to deserve the Todd Howard label? befuddlement

I mean it depends on your definition but basically he made Katamari Damacy and has spent the rest of his career trying (and failing) to replicate that success

i wouldn't say that trying and failing alone is enough to qualify as a todd howard, otherwise thousands of developers would be todds lol

i think it's more about overpromising and seriously underdelivering (especially repeatedly)

also, i forgot to name and shame this guy:
