: Don't you know Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke use/used assistants to help
: them with their books? Asimov let them write the main structure of the
: book and later he added the details. Clarke works the other way around: he
: write the main structure of the book and let his assistants finish it.
: They say many of their books are/were written completely by their
: assistants.

: A novel written this way is very questionable: it's more like a product than
: an artistic expression. In the end, you have to agree with me that taking
: the credit for something you wrote in part (maybe just a small part) is
: dishonest.

: Now you know how many "prolific" authors manage to publish so many
: books in such a little period of time.

I think it's called ghost writing. I guess some people would rather avoid fame and just get paid. These assistants must be willfully agreeing to this situation themselves. Heck presidents don't always write their own speeches, but writing books and speeches is different from what we see with Ferazel's wand.

The Bungie-style content of Ferazel seems minor compared to the overall amount gameplay in both terms of megabytes of data and minutes of gameplay.
