Saying he likes the game is all fine and dandy but means squat if we don't know why he likes or doesn't like it. I like plenty of things, but telling a company that does nothing to help them improve their products or services.
Personally, I find Spector revered far too much for his work on one game. Plenty of people worked on that game and many of them don't get the same "air-time" as Spector does. Of course, perhaps they don't want it, I don't know.
I know many people would love to see Spector work on a new Deus Ex title but frankly, Deus Ex was great not because of one man, but because of the entire team. One person might have made the game's design fantastic (even though it was actually two) but many more worked on improving the game in the forms of writing and designing levels.
I'm not saying Spector doesn't deserve the recognition, I'm just saying give credit where credit is due.
As far as I'm concerned, Human Revolution was a good game, but the Deus Ex franchise will never be as great as it was when it began simply because it's not the same team running it. No matter how much Eidos Montreal try to stay true to the original, they'll always end up deviating even slightly from the direction Deus Ex was leading in. This isn't bad of course, I'd just rather see what direction the original team would've put the game in right now.
