I guess this is similar to what people call "vision". The problem with vision is it can be terribly wrong. While it does give a creator confidence and can keep a good idea going for a long while, it can also cause a bad idea to stubbornly stick around. So I am unsure whether to say a company or a group of developers should have a "vision". If Anarchy Online had had a vision and kept it then maybe they never would have made Shadowlands. Maybe they would have expanded on their original ideas rather than abandoning them. But it could also have turned out bad. Maybe they would have held onto something that did not work and could not persevere. Bottom line, a company should not let its vision and confidence blind it, but neither should it shift around too much.
