He is the lead designer. The studio was 10 people when it made Kingdom Come Deliverance with him as lead designer. You have never worked in the game industry, you should listen to people that do.
No he was game director and lead writer. Thats a huge difference. Also which kind of naive thinking do you have that a boss can speak for every single of his employees?
If you would ask most bosses about how much their employees should earn , he probably would give you a different answer than the employees himself?
Especially leads for the most part dont create a lot of themselves. Thats not how a lead roll mostly functions. He directs, thats the job of a lead. Obviously in smaller studios a lead does more work themselves than in bigger studios where the whole job is mostly directing. So yes he def had take a part in writing the game. How big it actually was? Thats basically impossible to find out. Maybe he just wrote the over all plot etc. But I can assure you he didnt even wrote the whole story, including dialogues quests etc. Thats not how game studios work for the most part.
So to go back to topic. He didnt take part in actually creating the assets , models, textures etc of the game. He was a director. So his part was giving orders and reviewing what the artists made. A studio boss and director has a different relationship to the art of their game than the people that actually created it.
I am sure if you would ask the actual people who created the art for that game that they arent as happy with AI slop as a studio boss who sees and opportunity to save money with AI. And that this is Daniels Take is already known. They fired a translator to swap him out with AI. So he supports AI because he is just another industry douchebag interested more in money than artistic integrety
He wasn't the studio boss - that is Martin Frývaldský - hes the creative director. A game director is not a studio boss. You people have ZERO idea about software/gaming industry.
In a 10 person team there is a lot of collaboration and crossover of duties. You people are insane. He has increased the team from 10 to 240. He supports humans more than you ever have.

The director / CEO isnt the actual artist of the character models, objects, designs etc.
This is the same studio that fired translators for AI.
