There should still always be one person attached to the game. Design by committee has always had problems in timeline management and product quality control. A single vision is required to put out a solid product that performs strongly in what it's designed to do. "Group" projects tend to never see the light of day due to feature-creep, budget problems, and a general lack of quality. "Ownership" on the other hand is a different idea. Responsibility is another idea as well. Credit should be given where credit is due because yes, games are no longer developed by a single person.
If you guys liked MechWarrior, this is definitely something to check out. A little faster paced and more arcade style but a blast. Definitely one of the best independent projects out there. Support the devs, they deserve it. Hopefully more game devs will take a look at the market and realize Linux CAN be viable.
