This feels quite sad.

Someone who clearly wanted to make a difference, but mostly seems to have not just made games.

He made game tools, but then didn't actually use them to make games. And then he blamed everyone else for not being ready for what he was making.

Giving up after only one released work just seems like such a shame.

The posts author and site operator is Chris Crawford [0]. He said so in the post but Wikipedia confirms that he was mostly active from 1980s to 1990s with at least 15 titles to his name, not including other tools that he built and not including game design books that he authored or wrote for.
