Grey talks like everything I said is 100% untrue.
Just to clarify, yes there are some valid points in your article, sorry I didn't mention them.

He probably has far more ideas than he can possibly accomplish in a single lifetime
Lol, yep that's true, but it's probably also true of most peopl on this forum too! :-)

So how do people become game designers without programming? Maybe by working in a big tema as an assistant designer or something? Then eventually moving up to the role of designer. Or, putting your money where your mouth is, and hiring a programmer, artist and musician (as others have said) to make your design into reality. Or, in the Indie scene, design and program your own game from scratch, hiring in artists/musicians and even marketeers/publishers as appropriate.
