The purity argument always annoys me.

Because it betrays your intentions. If you are making a game with the purpose of it being a huge cultural phenomenon, then your motives are not pure and you aren't making the game with the desire of merely making a good game. It's like the girl who moves to Hollywood to take up acting in order to become famous, versus the girl who loves acting, but happens to become famous because she's really good and dedicated.

Bull crap. Plenty of people aim to be big and end up becoming big. There are enough great blockbuster movies to prove that intending to be a big deal does not interfere with their desire to make a good movie. Great directors and writers want to change the world, they want to change the industry, that's a common goal. It's the way they want to change it that matters, and from everything they've said they want to make a huge cultural phenomenon because that's how good of a game they want to make!
