It's less specific commentary on him in particular, and more my experience in software development in gneral. I don't actually know enough of what it was like to work under Aradune to say anything specifically about him.
However, I believe anyone at the top is "overrated": they are only barely more responsible for the final product than the tons of other people working on it, and often enough the people at the top's contribution was to make things worse, not better.

Back then was different. He was not a rich executive he failed at that actually.
Vanguard was awesome. It's a shame they didn't get better funding. Where pushed to develop too fast. Didn't have the tools and experience of developers today.
It was too ambitious. Half as many starter races and classes in development with the design for the rest to be added in expansions would have helped.
