Say what you will about his lifestyle, but even after 20+ years of multiple MMOs being released per year we are still playing his wildly out of date game.
Precisely because of his past lifestyle choices, I don't think he had much control over Pantheon's actual development. If you watch the videos of him playing, he generally had no idea what was going on. He'd keep breaking mez cuz he didn't know one of his arrow attacks was AE, as but one example. He was more of a spiritual leader (and marketing gold mine) than an actual dev.
