In Graphic Design, technology removed a lot of specialists. Used to be you needed a type guy, a colour guy, an art director, and an illustrator for each and every project.
Now that’s all the same guy.

All the best games were things made by fewer people not more. The best game ever, Dwarf Fortress, is entirely done by 1 guy.
It would be nice if it caused a return of teams of 3 guys in a garage creating and shipping software
