You're a great designer Warren but the position you're taking on this is nonsense, saying that no one has yet to get the camera 100% right. If you want to play it like that then fine. Miyamoto got it 95% right with Mario Galaxy, and you got it 60% right with Epic Mickey. Feel better? Didn't think so.

A poor camera cannot and should not be defended by the logic of saying that this is the best you can do when combining a platformer with an adventure game. You made a good game that has a poor camera. Admit it, learn from it and move on.
