What would the 'Mozart' of traditional gaming be like? If a true genius set his sights on traditional games and devoted his life to them, what would be the outcome?

He said a true genius, not a true autist

Personally? He'd be an asshole. He'd probably know how to read a room and manipulate people well enough to run a kickass game in any RPG. But he'd also probably play for keeps beyond what was normal in competitive games.
If he made games, he'd probably have several under his belt in drastically different genres. Just baseline games though, can't see him sticking around for expansions or anything. And they'd all be pretty well fine tuned.
He'd also probably talk about his process and preferences in making games. In practice, following his advice won't actually help you replicate his success. But people would try to imitate him anyway.
Our hobby would probably be fucked up by a guy like this showing up. Unless we had like two or three with different approaches and perspectives.

Why not someone with lots of experience who stumbles into a Genius level game by accident?
Cause it happened.

He needs to be either embraced,
or destroyed.
Otherwise He shall be our Undoing.
It is not about replicating his success,
it is about participating in the ride.
John Wick.
But OP, he's already graced us with his presence.
