    What if IQ is not a big factor in groups as found in this article -> The Science Behind Team Intelligence (fastcompany.com)
    Or you can remove the highest IQ members as long as you replace them with women.

    Fixed that for you. IQ is a measurement of one aspect of intelligence: pattern recognition. Just being able to find patterns though doesn't mean you're intelligent and the easiest way to prove that is to look at AI. Below is one search result of many for how AI is capable of scoring above humans while still making dumb mistakes.

    while i agree that the insults aren't warranted, i think provoking others and then ignoring responses is what you'd call troll behavior, isn't it?

    No, I don't think arowx is a troll or has bad intentions, just a character, and characters are what make things interesting.

    First you should define what is the criteria on being a "great game developer"

    Review score? Copies sold? Longevity? etc

    Honestly at this point maybe it would be best if Arowx wasn't allowed to make threads in General Discussion

    This isn't a matter of opinion, this is literally just Arowx posting yet another thread with concepts that have been repeatedly rebuked because he does not understand then and refuses to actually learn about them. I'm pretty sure he's even posted other threads about IQ before where we've gone through these same arguments.

    Off-topic. Also it is garbage, ironic and painfully ignorant.
    Closed for obvious reasons.
