That usenet guy attributing quote to Miyamoto has the same troll quote energy as “Don’t believe everything on internet” by Abraham Lincoln
Damn, consider me fooled, I genuinely thought that was something he said. I guess you can throw that in there with people who got tricked by the Hayao Miyazaki meme ‘Anime was a mistake’ and the bit about EA saying single player games are dead. Those two I knew were wrong since their inception but on this one I had no clue.
The Miyazaki quote is fake but, so long as the source video I saw was real, it’s a pretty accurate summary of what he was saying in the interview the screenshot is from.
He was saying something about how Otaku are too divorced from the world to write meaningful stories yet Otaku are usually the writers for manga and anime.
