The last posts sound like a war between programmers and artists. This is totally wrong. Artists and programmers belong to each other like man and woman, like water and earth, like mother and father. Everyone alone is just a lame spammer but togehter they can change the world.
Yup, let me just emphasize that I totally agree with Frank here, I never said artists aren't needed anymore or that their work is superfluous. I think that even without a team you could make great games, but you have to be an all-rounder and know a lot about every aspect of game design and programming. (Jon Mak's Everyday Shooter comes to mind, eventhough it features programmer art in the form of vector graphics, but still)
Most people do not have all of that knowledge/experience and so they will need at least 1 programmer and 1 artist.

Many computer artists are skilled programmers and many game-programmers can model some content as well.
Mmm, if this would really be true, then they wouldn't fight so much.
