That's like saying the person who builds a camera is the artist.
The articles example is directly analagous to a photographer choosing which photos to display. A process of editing that is clearly recognized as artistic.
Having played in the beta for both of these up-and-coming MMO's I was amazed to hear that CoH is going gold.
Just today I saw multiple bugs in CoH - broken quests, getting stuck in the terrain, people exploiting hover combined with ranged attacks, mobs with no pathing that wouldn't move to attack you, to name a few.
Not to mention the massive changes they are making to various powers in a seeming last minute attempt to balance the combat system, and quests that take hours to find the overcamped spawns you need.
As a beta tester I'm happy to tolerate this stuff, but I suspect they are going to have more than a few irate customers when they start trying to charge money for this.

Sigs are for the weak.
