Proving that Tanaka was bad doesn't make Yoshi good.

One redeeming feature of Tanaka, however, was that he actually took ownership of the game and, under his leadership, the development team still put forth ideas that helped further the genre; tHe armory and crafting systems, for example, and player run companies, etc.

And what does Yoshi give us? The promise of auto attack and quest hubs. These aren't freaking standards anymore!
