I'd say there are many quality game writers - my short list would include Miyamoto Shigeru of Nintendo fame, Will Wright of Sim City, Sid Meier of Civilization et al, and Ron Gilbert of the old school LucasArts adventure games(Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island, etc) and one of the creators of the SCUMM system, to name a few.
Just because the general population doesn't know these people doesn't make them less genius.
