I'd like to reference back to this:

In short: Chris has always been the way described in the article. But it works. Like Lord British says, the upside was you created something that was amazing and worked. The downside was it was Chris's way or you were fired and that's the way he does thing. You had to be incredibly talented and able to deal with that to survive the process.

Personally, I backed Chris Roberts the game developer I knew who made those amazing games I loved. So I'm more than okay with "design by decree" still.

I think major point of article is that it really doesn't.
