Crawford says nobody truly followed in his footsteps but I think Jason Rohrer qualifies. The two even shot a documentary together, and the scene where Crawford showed off his Storytron project to Jason was pretty revealing. Jason called it baroque and Crawford responded that he'd consider his life a failure if the project fails:

Crawford definitely is not doing enough introspection. I hope the man resets and makes an inspiring project without the self-romanticizing or self-pitying.

Crawford's travails remind me of the story of the pottery class (https://excellentjourney.net/2015/03/04/art-fear-the-ceramic...), in which half a studio is graded on the sheer quantity of pots they produce, while the others are graded on making one perfect pot. The "quantity" group ends up making higher quality pots because they've practiced and learned from their failures.

More succinctly, "real artists ship."
