Hideo Kojima, Quentin Tarantino, Shigeru Miyamoto, whoever you want to apply that label to, they're all GENIUSES. Visionaries. They've all revolutionized their medium in some way.
But none of them did it alone. Kojima didn't make MGS by himself. Tarantino didn't film Pulp Fiction on his own. They had help.
Auteur theory diminishes the collaborative effort of contemporary media and reduces it all to a single person who gets credit for everything.
Not only is that useless, it's unfair.
